Movable Type Max Search Results

I've noticed lately that when I search my website, I don't get all the results that I should. After some testing, I realized that it's probably hitting a "Max Results" returned type of situation. Predictably, this is poorly coded and documented. But after some digging, I've discovered that the Maxresults default value is 20. I counted the results returned and it was, in fact, 20. So, I'm sure that the Maxresults variable is my problem.

Now - to change it. Maxresults is a Configuration Directive, and is apparently stored in the mt-config.cgi file. I updated the mt-config.cgi file and it fixed the problem immediately.
