SphinxClient::setLimits

(PECL sphinx >= 0.1.0)

SphinxClient::setLimitsSet offset and limit of the result set

Description

public bool SphinxClient::setLimits ( int $offset , int $limit [, int $max_matches = 0 [, int $cutoff = 0 ]] )

Sets offset into server-side result set and amount of matches to return to client starting from that offset (limit ). Can additionally control maximum server-side result set size for current query (max_matches ) and the threshold amount of matches to stop searching at (cutoff ).

Parameters

offset

Result set offset.

limit

Amount of matches to return.

max_matches

Controls how much matches searchd will keep in RAM while searching.

cutoff

Used for advanced performance control. It tells searchd to forcibly stop search query once cutoff matches have been found and processed.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

I almost pulled out all my hair trying to figure this one out. After applying limits using

$s->setLimit(10,10);

the search kept returning only false. getLastError() and getLastWarning() contained empty strings.

The solution, like Nayana stated, is to add a positive non-zero integer $max to setLimit.

If you get an error
per-query max_matches=0 out of bounds (per-server max_matches=1000).

make sure that you also set the $max to a value other than the default 0,

there is an issue published with a patch if you feel like wanting to patch,

the first option works well as a workaround.
