Values: Yes (default) or No
Description: Allow search requests to return less than the full number of matched entries when the search size limit is reached. If you set this parameter to No, or if the client fails to request partial results, partial results are not returned and clients receive a size limit exceeded error when the size limit is reached.
For example, if partial results are permitted, the search limit is 200, and the search found 5000 entries, 200 of them are returned. If partial results are not permitted, this search would return no results.
Note: The Provisioning Server does not define which 200 of the 5000 entries are returned. The Provisioning Server does not necessarily return the first 200 entries, either alphabetically or using any other ordering method.
Two settings are required to activate Partial Results:
The effective partial result setting is the combination of these two settings. A partial result is returned only if Allow Partial Results is set to Yes and the GUI Search Preference control has Show Partial Result Lists selected.
The Provisioning Server is most efficient when partial results are not returned. When partial results are not needed, the Provisioning Server can report quickly when a search would exceed the size limit. However, if necessary to return the number of entries indicated by size limit, this will add processing load to the provisioning directory, Provisioning Server and client application. This load will take away from the processing load available to other users' queries or modifications.
