Item2232: SEARCH limit probably can be deprecated and we should use pagesize (or a synonym for it) instead
Priority: Enhancement
Current State: Proposal Required
Released In: n/a
Target Release: major
Applies To: Engine
Component: SEARCH
Branches:
as the legacy of the
SEARCH limit
parameter is that it applies to each web, rather than the total number of results, I think we can deprecate it (basically docco it as 'only use if you really know what it means and its what you want..) and replace it with the more expected 'show the first X results after sorting'
which
pagesize
already does...
we need more unit test to show the affects of limit - especially on the modified search done on
WebChanges.. when applying paging to trunk's
WebChanges, I found that going to
showpage=3
I got no more results due to that weird 'optimization' (comiting a fix for that, but its still dodgey code)

Sven, This had commits against 1.1.0, but it appears that it was mostly tests and documented TODO;s
Should this be bumped to a future release?
