Get-MSCatalogUpdate limited to 1000 results (even with -AllPages flag) #31

When using the -AllPages flag results are limited to 1000.

Last month this was not a problem.

Thank you @DaleMontgomeryPFIT for taking the time to report the bug you experienced with MSCatalog. After some investigating the issue, it seems to me that the problem is not with the MSCatalog software itself, but rather a limitation with the website www.catalog.update.microsoft.com that MSCatalog depends on.

To see what I mean go to www.catalog.update.microsoft.com and enter in a very general search such as "windows 10". You are likely to see the following warning message:

Your search resulted in over 1000 matching updates. Only the first 1000 are returned. To narrow your search, try adding additional keywords to your search terms.

I think that the MSCatalog team cannot directly resolve this issue, and I can only suggest reporting it to the support channels for www.catalog.update.microsoft.com so they may be able to assist you more effectively.
