Configuration/Core/client/html/catalog/count/limit

Summary
Limits the number of records that are used for product counts in the catalog filter

client/html/catalog/count/limit = 10000


 * Default: 10000
 * Type: integer - Number of records
 * Since: 2014.03

Description
The product counts in the catalog filter are generated by searching for all products that match the criteria and then counting the number of products that are available for each attribute or category.

As counting huge amount of records (several 10 000 records) takes a long time, the limit can cut down response times so the counts are available more quickly in the front-end and the server load is reduced.

Using a low limit can lead to incorrect numbers if the amount of found products is very high. Approximate product counts are normally not a problem but it can lead to the situation that visitors see that no products are available for an attribute or in a category despite the fact that there would be at least one.
