only 1000 results coming back in search

We only get 1000 results back in search. I am assuming this is by design but this is very limiting. I get that we will never reach the 1000 but we can't actually know how many there even are. For all we know there could b a million or there could just be 1000

Hi, you cannot retrieve all the results at once and you should use pagination to get them page by page.
This is to counter performance issues, especially with big numbers.

I don't want all of them at once and we are using pagination. However, we cannot get more than 1000 results. That is to say there is no page page 11 when there are 100 per page. We also would like to know the amount of results even if we are not viewing them.

Ok I see what you mean.
Unfortunately you cannot see the total number of pages, or more precisely it can be a temporary number if there are more than 1000 assets.

That's because the search performs internally two steps: one for relevancy and one for availability.
And to prevent performance issues, assets are considered per batch of 1000.

So you have to look at the response value of the boolean exhaustiveNbResults.
If it's false, you can increment the page from the request even if its value is higher than the temporary nbPages.
If it's true, the total number of results is the real number.
