Limits and Offsets

By default, Collection#query will return the “first” 50 records that match the query constraints. If you wish to modify these, you can do that with the #limit and #offset arguments to the #query call.

Both these methods take a single integer argument, like this:

collection.query(limit: 10, offset: 30) do |r|
  r.allText.match("Awesome!")
  r.order_by("uid", :ASC)
end

The inclusion of the #order_by isn’t strictly required, but by default, query results do not have a stable sorting order. This means that which 10 records you get, and which 30 are skipped, can change every time you run the query. You should always include at least one sort specification, especially if you are using limit/offset for pagination.
