In some cases my search takes too long. Now I want to show user partial matches if its taking too long.
The problem with timeAllowed is that lets say I set its value to 10 secs then for some queries it would be fine and will at least return few hundred rows but in really worse scenarios it might not even return few records in that time (even 0 is highly possible) so the user would think nothing matched though there were many matches. Telling SOLR to return first 20/50 records would ensure that it will at least return user the first page even if it takes more time.
