I fear the performance hit would be too big to justify a change to a high number by default. What we could do is document this option/behaviour better, so libraries can choose to take the hit.

I agree with Katrin. Koha is used by libraries big and small, so I think it's a better idea to be more conservative by default. (That said, it would be interesting if someone did some benchmarks on this one. Perhaps 1000 is an arbitrary number. We don't have numbers on the actual performance degradation at present I think.) I am also curious about the scenarios where people are getting search results higher than 1000. Back at university, as a student, I think librarians and professors would've told us that our searches were too broad if we were returning that many results. (That said, maybe you are doing a search for all science fiction and want to search through the results alphabetically, as you can't quite remember exactly what you're looking for. That seems reasonable too.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
