ResultsLimit limits the number of results displayed to the user.
When ResultsLimit is set to a positive number, the last result the user can navigate to is limited to the given number. For example, when ResultsLimit is 1000, the user won't be able to navigate farther than page 100.
Note: The
$(total)
template variable still displays the real total number of the documents found.
This kind of limiting makes sense because a normal person will not really browse through too many pages, only bots and spiders will do. ResultsLimit adds some defense against being loaded by bots and spiders.
The default value is 0, which means unlimited number of results.
