"There are too many results for this search. Try to search again with more specific keywords"

Hello,

Could you tell me how I can extend the number of returned rows in a search in the web interface, please?

I'm getting following warning message when results exceeds 1000 rows: "There are too many results for this search. Try to search again with more specific keywords"

Thanks in advance

    Hi Rodrigo,

    There was an earlier thread about this: https://www.quest.com/community/one-identity/identity-manager/f/identity-manager-forum/22357/web-portal-bug-there-are-too-many-results-message-with-no-data-to-display.

    There are two search options within a form. The first, by default, is the search at the top of the grid, looks through all of these objects, even those that the logged in user doesn't have permission for.

    The second type of search is to use the "Filter" icon. This will search inside the already provided results, instead of starting a lucene/global search.

    The second search on the grid filter, will send direct SQL statements to the database server, and not use the search index.  The only limitation of using the filter, is it can only load 200 results. This is fixed in 8.0.2 and above, by implementing some new filter strategies.  But doing so can have a performance cost.

    I think in this case it may help to simply filter your search, as per the above thread.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello Trevor.

    I saw that thread before opening mine. My case is slightly different. I'd need to increase the number of max results provided by the 'filter' option

    This is my case: I'd like to provide the users the possibility to export a WhitePages view with the full list of users that belong to a site. The issue is that there are some sites with more than 1000 users, so they will not be able to get a full list.

    I  hope this clarifies the topic.

    Many thanks!

    Rodrigo

    Hello again,

    I have just realized that using 'Filter by object' instead of 'Filter by string' option the results are not limited to 1000... ????

    For sure this might be a valid workaround... But personally, I think both options should provide the same results

    Thanks
