Description John Stowers 2007-01-29 12:08:46 UTC 
Some calls may return a lot of results, tracker_keywords_get_list() for example.

In some situations it may be desirable to limit the number of results returned. 

libtracker and the tracker DBus api should be ammended to accept a parameter to limit the number of results returned for certain calls.

Just out of interest, what are some of those situations?

The fix is extremely easy but it requires to change the API/ABI of libtrackerclient, so it must be postpone at the moment.
Comment 3 Jürg Billeter 2010-03-03 15:52:09 UTC 
This has been fixed in 0.7 (SPARQL supports LIMIT).
