But for the moment the pagination is broken (confirmed for works, recordings and release groups):

There is a fix pending:

### Fixes [MBS-12154](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12154) In som…e kinds of searches (such as "release-group arid:[mbid]"), the score of all resulting documents is constant. If there are more documents matching this result than the page size, it becomes difficult to consistently page through the results. To fix this, add an arbitrary sort after the score to break it in case that it is equal. I just chose the mbid or id for each core, as it's also the primary key and is guaranteed to be in the document and set. ### Testing I inspected `schema.xml` for each core to see if its primary key was `id` or `mbid`. I think I got them right. I performed a re-import of the whole search engine and the import completed successfully, I need to perform a search on each core to ensure that I got these values correct. ### Deployment steps We should be able to add this config to the cores without reindexing everything. It would involve shutting down the core, editing the relevant file inside the data directory, and then starting it back up again.

In the meantime you can set a limit=100 and hope you don’t have more than 100 results.
