Description

The searcher should return all results matching a query when the parameter rows=-1 is given.

I know that it is a bad idea to do this in general, but as it explicitly requires a special parameter, people using this feature will be aware of what they are doing. The main use case for this feature is probably debugging, but in some cases one might actually need to retrieve all results because they e.g. are to be merged with results from different sources.
