Issue

  •  The total number of count displayed in pagination is 10,000 due to which the assets present after 10,000 are not searchable.

For Example: If there are 12,000 users in the portal, the users above 10,000 are not been able to search.Screenshot_from_2019-09-20_15-56-12.png

Environment

  • Liferay Portal 6.2

Resolution

  • There is a default property which is set to 10000, for which, only 10000 search results are shown.
     #
        # Set the limit for results used when performing index searches.
        #
        index.search.limit=10000
    Adding this property in portal-ext.properties and setting the value greater than 10,000 as per your requirement will resolve the observed behavior.
