Exactly! The question is whether there is a python solr library that provides a layer of abstraction over that paging logic. -Tod Sent from from the æther. > On Sep 1, 2016, at 04:59, Andrew Hankinson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Solr itself has an internal limit to the number of results you can return on a single page (I think it is 1000) and AFAIK always returns a paged result.
