Redundant max results system prefs?
I see three different system prefs related to the number of search results displayed on a page: maxItemsInSearchResults: Specify the maximum number of items to display for each result on a page of results numSearchResults: Specify the maximum number of results to display on a page of results OPACnumSearchResults Specify the maximum number of results to display on a page of results Are the latter two more current than the first? I find references to all three in the code. Can we get rid of maxItemsInSearchResults? -- Owen

Are the latter two more current than the first? I find references to all three in the code. Can we get rid of maxItemsInSearchResults? The first one is a bit missleading. It refers to the max number of items to display per bib on the results page. Just image if you had a serial with 300 items, you wouldn't want to display them all. or if you were in a library with 400 copies of a book ...

Ah, that makes more sense now. Does hitting the limit cause the results page to display only the first X items per result, or is there an indication that there are more to see? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
