MultiStageMinResults

The minimum number of results required. Set this parameter to a value greater than 0 (zero) to enable multistage querying for the DAH.

The DAH serves the query in stages, accumulating the results as it progresses through separate stages. The query stops when the number of results accumulated up to the current stage is greater than or equal to the specified minimum number. At that point, DAH returns the specified number of matches.

If the number of accumulated results is less than the value specified, all results from all stages return.

If not specified, the minimum number of results is determined by MaxResults. If you set MaxResults to a value that is greater than MultiStageMinResults, the number specified by MaxResults returns. When serving the query, the DAH requests the number of results specified by MaxResults or MultiStageMinResults (whichever is the greater) from each server.
