the max_matches / cutoff parameters are priceless.

if you ever have a situation where you need a 'count' of the number of matches, but only need to display lets say the 'top 10', these 2 parameters are very handy.

we used to get the occasional 'unable to connect' error with sphinx, after implementing these 2 parameters where applicable, these issues disappeared, load dropped, and the servers were much happier.

If you use shpinxQL, you can add "max_matches" option to your query:

<?php
   SELECT
... LIMIT 1000, 10 OPTION max_matches = 1000
?>

And to "searchd" section in sphinx.conf:

<?php

searchd
{
    ...
   
max_matches = 10000
   
....
}

?>

I almost pulled out all my hair trying to figure this one out. After applying limits using

$s->setLimit(10,10);

the search kept returning only false. getLastError() and getLastWarning() contained empty strings.

The solution, like Nayana stated, is to add a positive non-zero integer $max to setLimit.

If you get an error
per-query max_matches=0 out of bounds (per-server max_matches=1000).

make sure that you also set the $max to a value other than the default 0,

there is an issue published with a patch if you feel like wanting to patch,

the first option works well as a workaround.
