Queries normally return only up to @code{mu4e-search-results-limit} (which
defaults to 500) results. You get @emph{all} results when you prefix your
defaults to 1000) results. You get @emph{all} results when you prefix your
search commands (such as with @code{mu4e-search}, @code{mu4e-search-bookmark},
@code{mu4e-search-bookmark-edit-first} and @code{mu4e-jump-to-maildir} with
@kbd{C-u}.
The reason for limiting the number of results in the query is that emacs may
become a bit slow when displaying many results, and in many cases
@code{mu4e-search-results-limit} should be enough.
This limit was introduced in earlier versions of @t{mu4e}, where @t{emacs}
could become slow when there were many matches. This is no longer the case
(post @t{mu4e} version 0.9.8.3), but since it is still faster to limit the
number of matches, the limit remains.
