Increase/restore number of search results
#1
Before the recent reboot of TPB, we used to be able to get more than 33 pages of results when doing a search.  The current search limit seems to be 1,000 results.  The pages numbers on the bottom of the screen and arrow indicating even more pages of results imply we should get more than that.  In fact, we used to get 100 pages of results or nearly 3,000 total.  

What makes the Bay the best torrent site is the vast archive of older torrents, many of which are still well seeded - but these can no longer easily be found unless you know exactly what to look for.  And many uploaders have more than 1,000 uploads, so searching their profiles for older material is quite frustrating.  The same is true for using the browse feature to see what's recently been uploaded.  The thirty or so pages of results only go back a few hours.  Personally, I would love you to do what demonoid does and show ALL the results that match a search.  Is there some good technological reason for limiting the results or was this just an oversight?

It's not an oversight. It might change in the future. It's unlikely to change in the near future.

Is this still an issue? I'm not getting more than 34 pages of results.

It has never been an "issue". It is simply the way the system was and is intended to work. It has not been changed and there are no plans to change it.

It's intended that simply browsing by seeders cuts off when clearly there are more? I wouldn't call that not an issue.

That would be like a search engine showing you a tiny fraction of the results that you were searching for.

Whether you like it or not, or consider it an issue or not, it is the way it is by design. It has been the way it is for several years and there is no reason for you to expect it will be changed anytime soon.

But since honesty is something you are apparently neither used to nor equipped to handle, please accept my facetious thanks for your novel suggestion and assurance that we will give it all due consideration.

Honesty? It was a simple question. No need to be a passive-aggressive jackass about it.
