Full-Text Search results should not be assumed to be exhaustive of all possible results. For example, Full-Text Search can only return a default of 250 results at a time. If there are more than 250 potential results, the additional results are not displayed.

Note:

The client may return fewer than the maximum configured results to the user due to security and metadata filtering.

When performing a search usingFull-Text Search, you should assume the possibility that not all results are being shown. To alleviate this issue, several additional steps can be taken, including:

  • Avoid using only aFull-Text Search to find documents. Instead use searches combined with keywords and date ranges to be as specific as possible.

  • For date ranges, limit the dates of the search to a smaller range and conduct multiple searches using subsequent periods. For example, instead of using all of 2020 as a date range, break your searches into months or weeks to ensure you are getting the best results.

  • The configuration keys fullTextUnFilteredResultMax and fullTextServerMaxResults may be increased to increase the number of results returned. Doing so may impact query performance when raised above default values.
