# MaxResults

The maximum number of results to return for this query from the total number of matching results.

This parameter is constrained by the MaxResults configuration parameter. For example, if you set MaxResults to `3000` in the configuration file, a query with `MaxResults` to `9000` returns only `3000` results.

## Batch queries

You can use the `MaxResults` parameter with the Start parameter to display the `MaxResults` only from the Start position onwards. The Start value must be smaller than the `MaxResults` value because if the position that it specifies does not fall within the generated range of results, no results return for the query, even though results might be available.

For example:

    MaxResults=6
    Start=6

In this example, if a total of 10 results is available for the query, only the sixth result returns.

    MaxResults=100
    Start=6

In this example, if a total of 10 results is available for the query, the results 6 to 10 (inclusive) return.

    MaxResults=5
    Start=6

In this example, no results return (even if results are available).
