okay, how abt if no value set to the maximum_limit, then the default value
for the maximum_limit is having some 10,0000 instead of 10, becoz there
would be few people who will not set this attribute and will result in
getting only the first 10 pages, just my 2 cents abt htdig.

I don't understand what you mean by "showing the total number of total
pages". If you mean that you don't want htsearch to impose any limits at
all, then why is it so hard to believe that you can just set the limit
to a really big number? Did you read something somewhere that implied
the value of maximum_pages must be small? The only theoretical limit
is the maximum value of a 32-bit signed integer, 2^31 or over 2 billion.
If you set it to anything larger than
(# of document in db/results per page)
then you effectively have no limit to the number of pages - it will
give you as many pages as you need even if all documents in the database
are matched. What more do you need?

I think Geoff means min( (# of results/results per page), (maximum_pages))
i.e. the lesser of the two values.
