Algolia: search() caps at 1000 hits - use browse() for full index retrieval
[Stack Overflow #37346868, accepted answer, 17 votes]: search() returns at most 1000 records no matter how big the index is. To pull everything, use the browse() function instead. Prefer search for user-facing queries since its more optimized, and reserve browse for bulk operations like backups or full exports.
