Thanks wunder for the response. So I would like to know if I were to limit the resultset from Solr to 10 and my query actually matches, say 1000 documents, will the query processing stop the moment the search finds the first 10 documents? Or will the entire search be carried out and then sorted out based on their ranks and the top 10 results be returned?

It is much more efficient to request only the results you will need, usually 10 at a time. wunder On 2/17/09 3:30 AM, "Jana, Kumar Raja" <kj...@ptc.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am trying to avoid queries which take a lot of server time.
