Search Speed and "Found Recs Stop Limit"
The "Found Recs Stop
Limit" stops the text search engine when it has found that number of records.
The smaller the number, the faster the search. Records are sorted and further
filtered after the initial search. This means that the sorting and filtering may
not be complete if this limit is reached. The results are further filtered by
the "All Tracked" and "Not Tracked" options, so while you may have 500 hits,
only the files matching the criteria will be returned.
