• Amit Kumar Garg Connection problems in game/app

• Justanyname No results after first SourceResponse

  Hi, Before reading your response to the "What constitutes a query " post I'd been handling searches for more than 50 results by submitting one SearchRequest after another using a single SourceRequest in each, and increasing the offset each time.
