WEB SERVERS

Limiting the number of documents displayed during a Web Site search
You can specify a default and maximum number of documents to display as a result of performing a search on a database. Users can specify the number of documents for a search query to return using the SearchMax parameter with the SearchSite and SearchView commands.

Note If you are using the Web Server Configuration view, open the Server document and click the Internet Protocols - Domino Web Engine tab.

Change these options to prevent users from overloading server resources with search results.
