# errors.SEARCH_RESULT_LIMIT

## NAME

SEARCH_RESULT_LIMIT — the search query matched more results than the server-enforced maximum page or result set size.

## SYNOPSIS

HTTP: `400` `Bad Request`. Retryable: `no`.

## DESCRIPTION

The server imposes an upper bound on the number of results returned per page and per job to protect cluster resources. Returned when the request exceeds this limit — either by requesting too large a page size or by the matched result count exceeding the cap.

Not retryable with the same parameters. A smaller `pageSize` or more selective filter conditions reduce the result set below the cap.

## See also

- [`cyoda help errors`](/help/errors/) — Every error response from the Cyoda REST API carries a structured `errorCode` in the `properties` object. Multiple codes may share the same HTTP status. Programmatic handling keys on `errorCode`, not HTTP status.
- [`cyoda help errors SEARCH_JOB_NOT_FOUND`](/help/errors/search_job_not_found/) — Polling a search job by ID returns this error when the job ID is unknown or belongs to a different tenant. Jobs are tenant-scoped; a valid job ID from one tenant is not visible to another.
- [`cyoda help errors SEARCH_SHARD_TIMEOUT`](/help/errors/search_shard_timeout/) — Distributed search fans out to multiple shards in parallel. If any shard does not return results before the search timeout expires, the job is marked failed and this error is returned. Occurs under high load, during partial cluster degradation, or with expensive queries.
