Limits on the number of free-text search results

You can limit the number of free-text search results returned from the Guidewire Solr Extension in two ways:

  • Limit the number of free-text search results returned
  • Set the number of free-text search results per page

Limiting the Number of Free-text Search Results Returned

The ISolrSearchPlugin plugin implementation limits the number of results that the Guidewire Solr Extension returns to PolicyCenter. You may want to increase or decrease the default value of 100 result items. Change the default by editing the ISolrSearchPlugin plugin registry to change the fetchSize parameter.

Setting the Number of Free-Text Results per Page

In the default configuration for free-text search, the basic search displays 10 search results per page. You can configure the number of search results per page by modifying the pageSize property on the page configuration file. Regardless of the number of results that you configure, users can change the page size to suit their needs after PolicyCenter displays the first page of results.

For basic policy search, modify the SolrPolicySearchPanelSet page configuration file. View and edit the file in the Project window in Studio by navigating to Page Configuration (PCF) > search > SolrPolicySearchPanelSet.
