But this is not the truth; it will work on 100 pages at most. line 875: def SearchPageGenerator\(query, number = 100, namespaces = None, site = None\): This limits the results to 100 pages, and there is no possibility to pass a different number from command line. Please build in this parameter and write it in the help, or alternatively give an unlimited number to the query as stated in help. Thank you\!
I increased the priority because the dump server has already been dead for several weeks and seems not to revive in the near future. In this emergency we are compelled to use -search for replace.py instead of dump.
- **priority**: 5 --> 7
the limit now is 500, but fixing documentation would be easy
I haven't tested it yet but doesn't it support continuation so returning more than 500 results?
