Has anyone ever encountered the Webflow site search limit?

I understand that Webflow’s site search only displays up to 100 results per query. Does this mean that if I have 150 items in a CMS collection, the remaining 50 won’t appear in search results at all?

For example, my client currently has 100 bracelet products but now wants to add 50 ring products. If someone searches for “rings,” will the site show all 50 rings, or will they not appear because they exceed the 100-item display limit?

I’m a bit confused about how this limitation works. My assumption is that the 50 rings would show up because Webflow isn’t searching over 150 rings—just those matching “rings” which are in total 50, not 150. Am I understanding this correctly, or is there something else to consider?

By the way, I know I said CMS but this is an e-commerce, I just thought it would be the same issue for both.

Site search is not a CMS search, it’s a full text search across all pages.

Think of it like Google search, it indexes the site, and when you search for a keyword, it gives you the top N matches it thinks are relevant, in the order it thinks are most relevant.

I think what you want for this isn’t site search but rather a filtered product list. Finsweet CMS Filter + CMS Load are the most popular way to do this.
