Yes, the API to search people is designed to return up to 20 people.

Yes, the API to search people is designed to return up to 20 people.

It's very confusing, and it took me a while to figure out what is going on. It would help a great deal if instead of using a text of: (search people) you said: (search people - 20 results max).

I do understand why you'd want to cap this, but 20 is excessively short, especially considering 'view all' only shows 500. Once you start getting into a family album, where you start dealing with large families, and kids and their classmates, it's very very easy to blow 500.

If search would show 500 as well, (or at least, say 100) then you could at least get away with sublabeled names like: 'kid1 classmate jack' so you have an easy way to search for your kid's classmate's names.

[Twipeep]

I agree, 500 is way too few! Are there any technical reason behind the choice of not showing more? Maybe it could be a variable if it’s for performance reason?

[jrasm91]

The person page now has infinite scrolling so it shows 500 people and then loads the next 500 as you scroll down, etc. The linked PR changes the search results to return 500 results now, which should make this page a lot more usable.
