Hi,

Yes we should definitively add paging to the search webscript, which of course would be the best way to solve the problem :-).
I have filed to a jira for this: http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-3416

Perhaps it may interest you that the task-instances webscript is a good example of how "paging" will work in the future, a pattern that:
- also matches the CMIS paging strategy and
- will match the Alfresco.util.DataTable's default config.

This is how it looks:

"paging":
{
   "totalItems": searchresults.length, // The total number of items that match the search term criterias (no matter what the skipCount or maxItems is set to)
   "maxItems": 10, // The maximum number of items to return in a request (
   "skipCount": 0 // The item index position to start returning items from (in other words NOT a "page number")
}

… so I would say that "maxItems" in this strategy actually is the "maxRowItems" you're looking for. An example of a request asking for tasks is:

GET http://localhost:8081/share/proxy/alfresco/api/task-instances?authority=admin&properties=bpm_priority,bpm_status,bpm_dueDate,bpm_description&exclude=wcmwf:*&skipCount=0&maxItems=50

…which gives you the following response for a use that has 2 tasks….

200 OK
{
   "data": [
      { "id": "jbpm$5", … },
      { "id": "jbpm$3", …}
   ],
   "paging":
   {
      "totalItems": 2,
      "maxItems": 50,
      "skipCount": 0
   }
}

Cheers, Erik
