Some times it is necessary to limit the search results which could be useful to avoid low server resources crash or delay.

If you are sure you have a good server hardware, including the CPU speed, RAM and a good SQL server and OS, then you can set this option to a big number whatever it is.

Set this option to zero (digit 0) for unlimited search results returned.

Search Terms in Search Results Tags

If you set this tag to <b>-</b> , then the search terms will be bolded inside the search results.

<FONT COLOR="red"> and </FONT>
