Gets or sets the maximum amount of time the server spends searching. If the time limit is reached, only entries found up to that point are returned.
[Visual Basic] Public Property ServerTimeLimit As TimeSpan [C#] public TimeSpan ServerTimeLimit {get; set;} [C++] public: __property TimeSpan get_ServerTimeLimit(); public: __property void set_ServerTimeLimit(TimeSpan); [JScript] public function get ServerTimeLimit() : TimeSpan; public function set ServerTimeLimit(TimeSpan);
A TimeSpan that represents the amount of time that the server should observe in a search. The default of -1 means to use the server-determined default of 120 seconds.
Unlike the ServerPageTimeLimit property, ServerTimeLimit indicates the total amount of time the server will spend on a search. When the time limit is reached, the server stops searching and returns whatever results it has accumulated up to that point.
Set ServerTimeLimit to a negative value to use the server-determined default.
Note If you set ServerTimeLimit to a value that is larger than the server-determined default of 120 seconds, the server-determined default is used. After the server time limit is reached, you cannot continue a search from where it left off.
