Hi, it's an idea, but I would prefer not to restrict results. With the current system I think that we have the most flexible search system we possibly can, but I'm always happy to listen and make changes if the majority of users want something. Search is very complicated due to the non-UK characters.hitm4n wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 9:16 pmJust throwing this thought in the ring...This is what we are using, and we are trying to avoid allowing search returning huge numbers of rows
If limiting number of results why not allow any old stupid search criteria but then limit what is returned to screen and post a message saying...
"This search generated more than 500 results, please refine your search criteria"
Or whatever number or message you see fit. Then all this work isn't needed?
Just an idea.
The only limitation is three alphanumeric characters in search which I don't believe will cause any issues 99.9% of the time, but as mentioned I'm open to suggestions such as the request for 3D which has been implemented.
