Is there any way to increase the 250/page limit? I can do multiple queries(page=1,page=2....) but it will be better if 250 limit can be changed even though some performance issues might occur.
Recently integrated on our job portal https://skill.jobs/browse-jobs
Where the IDs collected from typesense are converted into django queryset. But It could have been better if the limit is flexible. Or any better suggestions are highly appreciated.

This has come up a few times, but we don't think it's a good idea to increase this limit. Typesense is a search engine that is optimized to fetch a finite set of relevant results from a large pool. Our algorithms and optimizations are explicitly tied to this goal. The 250 items per page limit exists to reinforce that limitation.

Thanks for the reply. Currently our search is working fine for us. Hope that Typesense will grow more.
