For a lot of purposes the limit is fine even with xml or json - it gives back the (up to) 10 mostly likely matches. Perhaps if you could give a use case to explain why you would like this limit removed I could suggest other options. > Is it possible to add support for a &limit=XX argument, where XX is the > number of results required, with 0 being a special value removing the > limit ? The limit of 10 items is not a display choice but a performance choice. It is there to prevent a single query for using too much resources and blocking usage by other people and to the ensure that the response is returned in a reasonable time. Have you investigated the possibility of using the more_url ? This already allows you to obtain the next batch of 10. -- Brian _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
