Pagination - can't go past 1000th result

   Hi. I'm making queries against your search API, and have run into the following problem. If a search returns more than 1000 results, it's impossible to paginate past the 1000th result. For example, this search (I've used the example api key from the docs) returns the first page of 2390 results. Pagination works fine up to page 20, but if I try to load the 21st page, I get the following output:

   <search>
     <time>0.001464</time>
     <totalResults>0</totalResults>
     <fromNum>0</fromNum>
     <toNum>0</toNum>
     <page>1</page>
     <results></results>
   </search>
   

   No matter what combination of num and page parameters I use, I can never paginate past the 1000th result.

   Is there any way to retrieve the results of searches that return more than 1000 hits, or is this a built-in limit?

   All the best,

   This is, unfortunately, a limitation with our Search engine. You'll have to provide more specific filters to reduce your subset to < 1000. Sorry about that.

   Understood - thanks for the response...
