Geocode Server suggest returns only 50 results event if MaxSuggestCandidates is set to 100

MaximeDemers — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 18:02:52 GMT

Hi!

When creating my address locator, I modify the MaxSuggestCandidates from default 6 to 100, then I publish it as a Geocode Service on ArcGIS Server Enterprise.

When I use the REST suggest service, I set the maxSuggestions parameter to 100. However, the service only returns 50 suggestions max.

Here is my locator loc file

LocFileUseUTF8 = True
Category = Address
Description = Single Field

UseRelativePaths = true

The maximum amount of suggestions that can be returned is capped at 50. What is the use-case for wanting to return more than 50?

Suggestions are supposed to be an interactive way to show results as a user types so even 50 is more than what a user would ideally want to see while they are typing. This is why we have 5 by default but in some cases 7 to 10 could be useful depending on the application.
