In the OCMS Admin's search configuration, it's possible for the administrator to define a search results limit. Based on the underlying repository, however, there are some items to keep in mind:

When querying Documentum with a RETURN_TOP(X) hint in the query, the content server will process the "top" values in a row based manner. This means that unexpected results can come back when querying on repeating attributes. To fix this issue, you must execute the following steps:

1. On the content server, edit the ${DOCUMENTUM}/dba/config/${repository.name}/server.ini file
2. Set the following value: return_top_results_row_based=false
3. Restart the docbase and content server

Alfresco has it's own search results limit. So, for example if Alfresco is limiting search results to 1,000 and OCMS Admin sets the value to 2,000, only 1,000 results max will be returned.

OpenContent will return the number of results indicated in the Limit Search Results setting in OCMS Admin.
