Content on pages beyond 100 does not change when conducting a search.
BugCompletatoFunkDialout19.06.2026
The Issue:
After you search and begin going through the pages you will find that the content does not change after page 100.
See here, this is the content from pg 100. for a basic Gridfinity search:
https://3dsearch.net/?page=100&q=gridfinity&sources[]=printables&sources[]=thingiverse&sources[]=myminifactory&sources[]=cults3d&sources[]=makerworld&sources[]=makeronline&sources[]=grabcad&sources[]=crealitycloud
Notice the first item on the page is the orange gridfinity dial indicator.
Now if you go to any page 101-Last Page the content will be the exact same as what is on page 100.
Here is page 101.
https://3dsearch.net/?page=101&q=gridfinity&sources[]=printables&sources[]=thingiverse&sources[]=myminifactory&sources[]=cults3d&sources[]=makerworld&sources[]=makeronline&sources[]=grabcad&sources[]=crealitycloud
Here is page 865
https://3dsearch.net/?page=865&q=gridfinity&sources%5B%5D=printables&sources%5B%5D=thingiverse&sources%5B%5D=myminifactory&sources%5B%5D=cults3d&sources%5B%5D=makerworld&sources%5B%5D=makeronline&sources%5B%5D=grabcad&sources%5B%5D=crealitycloud
No additional filters set such as free or paid. Issue also exists for users not logged in.
Probably not something that will come up for anyone who is not a heavy user, but definitely a pain when trying to see content deeper in the search.

Fixed and live. You were right — results were capped at page 100 internally, but the pagination still advertised pages beyond that, so anything past 100 just repeated page 100's content. Pagination now ends honestly at the real limit, so you won't hit duplicate pages anymore. Quick note on the cap itself: paging that deep into relevance-ranked results gets into near-random long-tail territory (and is heavy on the server), so like most search engines I keep a sensible depth limit — for digging into a large result set, refining the search or switching the sort will get you to the right models far better than page 100+. Thanks again for the sharp, well-documented report — genuinely useful.

Understood, perhaps in the future giving supporters access to maybe 200 pages could be an option if feasible.
For me I am diagnosed with ADHD and on the spectrum so in some cases I like being able to see everything that gets pulled with a search term without having to add more keywords because there are so many things I have found that I would not have known to search for.
For example searching with "gridfinity" I have found several items that I would not have thought to to even use with gridfinity and so would not have found them except by searching the keyword and then browsing the pages of results.
I very much understand the impacts that serving all the results can have on your backend infrastructure though and that I am an outlier in wanting this, so no worries on it not being something you want to do now.
I just wanted to add a bit additional context on why I made the request, but not to try and persuade you to change your mind. As always, appreciate all your hard work on the site.
