Question

I am usign SphinxQL to query Sphinx RT indexes. Found that queries return 20 matches at most (20 seems to be a default value).

Tried adding options the SELECT query to change that limit to 1000:

SELECT [...] OPTION cutoff = 1000, max_matches = 1000

But got same results.

Is there a way to override the 20 matches result limitation using SphinxQL?

Have you tried the LIMIT clause?

From the Docs:

LIMIT clause. Both LIMIT N and LIMIT M,N forms are supported. Unlike in regular SQL (but like in Sphinx API), an implicit LIMIT 0,20 is present by default.
