Hi, this is to let everybody know about a setting that is not documented yet.

 

Beginning with 9.0, you may search fulltext on "All Mail and Archives"
BUT for performance purpose, it was hardcoded to only returns 50 results per database (that means usually 100 = 50 in Mail and 50 in Archive).

50 is really not much, so the IBM support told me about an unknown Notes.ini setting on Notes client :  AMAA_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS

 

As soon, I have set in a policy in my domain, so that it pushes the setting to everyone. I recommend :
AMAA_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS=200
where 200 is the number of results per database (so that would do 400 for Mail+Archive).

 

I tried to set to 0, but did not found out if that leads to anything.

I tried a much bigger number to emulate a no limit : indeed that is hard on performance, it takes much time.
And who cares about thousands of results ?
So 200 is a good intermediate.

Hope you will enjoy this treasure.
