19. How Many Documents are Sent Back?


The maximum number of hits (documents) matching a query depends on the value given to the question:

Additional options:

  1. How many hits do you want at most?
    You can specify how many hit you want at most (they must be between 1 and 99).


If however there are more hits than the maximum value setup, then a "Further documents..." statement appears at the bottom of the list of headlines.

In this case clicking on "Further documents..." a second screen of hits appears with another statement, "Prior documents..." at the top. This way one can move back and forth among all the documents.


The tag range responsible for manageing "Prior documents..."... "Further documents..." is:

<INPUT NAME="range" TYPE="hidden" VALUE="1">
If set to 1 it allows to retrieve further matching documents, even if there are more hits than the maximum value setup.
