Hi Michael, Unless I'm misunderstanding something, what you suggested won't help. I have only 1 key: "name". If I search on it with a query like ?query=name:*a* it is going to return all nodes with the letter 'a' in the name. The result set could be over 100,000 nodes. I want it to return just the first 4 nodes. Does that make sense? If there is a simpler way of achieving this aside from a custom plugin I am all ears.
When did the full lucene query API syntax become available with the REST API? Docs have only changed in the last few days but I'm guessing (hoping) the docs were a bit behind and now reflect version 1.3 of the server?
