No. That'd be quite silly, wouldn't it ?

Absolutely :), that's why I was curious.
So correct me if this wrong, but sounds like either of the two can be used to limit how much the server works on a search, but they each take effect at a different part of the search algorithm. I still wonder why you'd choose one over the other to implement result limits? Seems kind of like a door with two knobs. Maybe there's some specific cases where one is preferable.

Thanks again for the replies,

That makes sense.
Does this mean if a sizelimit (not lookthrough) is hit, the server continues searching the database, even though it has already returned error code 4 to the client?

It _might_ do a bunch of work up front to service a search
only to discover when sending entries back to the client that the
size limit is exceeded.
