sizelimit and SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED

[David S.]

When I call search_ext_s with sizelimit=n, I expect simply to get n or fewer
entries in my result, but instead I get a SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED exception {'info':
'', 'desc': 'Size limit exceeded'}.

Am I misunderstanding or misusing that argument?

Thanks for any help.

Peace,
David S.
