Description

I'm performing a search via Laravel Scout Builder, and I want to bring all my data, so I set a limit equal to 10,000, but my result is always limited to a thousand results, even changing the limit.

ContactMessage::search()->take(10000)->get();

And in my database, we have over a thousand records.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a table with over a thousand records, and try to bring everything in using the limit.

Using the Scout count, and below the actual amount in the database.

ContactMessage::search()->take(10000)->count();

@joaopalopes24 this is the maxTotalHits setting on meilisearch side which prevents users from scrapping the whole data of a meilisearch DB.

this is the setting (which is by default max 1000 items returned) https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/api/settings.html#pagination

Thanks @mmachatschek. Wondering if we should note this in the docs because this seems to keep popping up.

@driesvints it may be worth mentioning in the docs
