I'd like to limit the total number of documents that are returned for a search, particularly when the sort order is not based on relevancy.
In other words, if the user searches for a very common term, they might get tens of thousands of hits, and if they sort by "title", then very high relevancy documents will be interspersed with very low relevancy documents. I'd like to set a limit to the 1000 most relevant documents, then sort those by title. Is there a way to do this? I guess I could always retrieve the top 1000 documents and sort them in the client, but that seems particularly inefficient. I can't find any other way to do this, though. Thanks, Paul
