Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1272/ Reported by: binbot Created on: 2010-12-18 08:54:35 Subject: Limited search in pagenerators.py, invalid help Original description: pagenerators.py, current ver 8652

Help says: -search Work on all pages that are found in a MediaWiki search across all namespaces. But this is not the truth; it will work on 100 pages at most.

line 875: def SearchPageGenerator(query, number = 100, namespaces = None, site = None): This limits the results to 100 pages, and there is no possibility to pass a different number from command line. Please build in this parameter and write it in the help, or alternatively give an unlimited number to the query as stated in help.

Thank you!
