Allow linksearch to search more wikis

Closed this issue · 4 comments

It's currently possible to search only the first 20 Wikipedias. 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LinkSummaryAnnotated.gif suggests it also 
used to be available a "first 57" option.
Arbitrary limits (or all wikis) should be possible as well.

With a 60 (previously 30) second timeout on Google App Engine, this is quite 
difficult (and was previously impossible). I might take it up to 40 wikis.

I see, thank you. Isn't there a way to give a partial output or improve 
performance? I suppose the API requests themselves don't take that much, maybe 
an alternate "almost raw" output would reduce resource hunger?

Yes they do, especially for long (>1000) lists of links. That's the problem.
