# Search result batch size

The maximum batch size for any search operation is 1000. This value is hardcoded and cannot currently be configured. In the following example, the `.Skip()` and `.Take()` method are not being used to limit the size of the result set. A maximum of 1000 contacts will be returned.

```csharp
using Sitecore.XConnect.Collection.Model;
using System.Linq;
using Sitecore.XConnect;

namespace Documentation
{
    public class SearchCountLImit
    {
        public async void Example()
        {
            using (Sitecore.XConnect.Client.XConnectClient client = Sitecore.XConnect.Client.Configuration.SitecoreXConnectClientConfiguration.GetClient())
            {
                try
                {
                    IAsyncQueryable<Sitecore.XConnect.Contact> queryable = client.Contacts
                        .Where(c => c.Interactions.Any(x => x.WebVisit().Browser.BrowserMajorName == "Chrome"))
                        .OrderBy(c => c.EngagementMeasures().MostRecentInteractionStartDateTime)
                        .WithExpandOptions(new Sitecore.XConnect.ContactExpandOptions()
                        {
                            Interactions = new Sitecore.XConnect.RelatedInteractionsExpandOptions()
                            {
                                Limit = 20
                            }
                        });

                    SearchResults<Sitecore.XConnect.Contact> results = await queryable.ToSearchResults();
                    var totalResults = results.Count; // SHOWS ACTUAL TOTAL, COULD BE OVER 1000

                    var contacts = await results.Results.Select(x => x.Item).ToList(); // LIMITED TO 1000
                }
                catch (XdbExecutionException ex)
                {
                    // Handle exception
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
