Description Amir E. Aharoni 2009-10-25 21:15:07 UTC 
I changed the "Hits per page" value in My preferences on the English Wikipedia to 500. Now, when i search for a string, for example "Aharoni", i get this line at the top of the page: "Results 1 - 50 of 299 for aharoni".

"1 - 50" - even though all the results are shown on one page. I'm not sure, but i think that it is a new issue and that it used to show something like "1 - 299" earlier.
Comment 1 Robert Stojnic 2009-10-25 21:27:27 UTC 
I have recently set maximum number of hits to 50 on the backend. We cannot sustain having the limit per page set to 500, and these queries frequently time out and cause other problems under high load (e.g. see bug 16236). 

As far as i know, the frontend has those values 20-50-100-250-500 hardcoded, so that needs fixing.
Comment 2 Amir E. Aharoni 2009-10-25 21:35:40 UTC 
Oh, i see - not all the 299 results are shown, only 50. And the (previous 500  | next 500) links at the bottom are inactive. This creates an illusion that all the results are shown.

OK then, if 500 is too much, i'll set it to 50, even though 500 was very convenient to me. Maybe all users should be forced to change that in one way or another.
