It is possible to configure the properties of a task type inbox to specify a limit to the number of tasks returned in the search results, or to select the No Maximum check box, which effectively returns all matching tasks (note that this check box is not available in My Inbox or Task List Management).

When selected, the maximum is subject to the task.max.results option (default = 1000 tasks); for more information, see “Limit the Number of Tasks Returned to a Results List” in the PDF publication webMethods Task Engine User’s Guide.

When the task type associated with the task type inbox is configured with an indexed search provider, clearing or selecting the No Maximum check box has no effect; all search results are always returned, and the value defined in the task.max.results option is ignored.
