# What should I do if I get more than 10,000 results?

In Datashare, for technical reasons, it is not possible to open the 10,000th document.

*Example:* you search for "Paris", you get 15,634 results. You are able to see the first 9,999th results but no more. This also happens if you didn't run any search.

As it is not possible to fix this, here are some tips:

* [**Refine your search**](/datashare/usage/filter-documents.md): use filters to narrow down your results and ensure you have less than 10,000 matching documents
* **Change the** **sorting of your results**: use 'creation date' or 'alphabetical order' for instance, instead of the sorting by default which corresponds to a relevance scoring
* **Search your query in a** [**batch search**](/datashare/usage/batch-search-documents.md)**:** you will get all your results either on the batch search results' page or, by downloading your results, in a spreadsheet. From there, you will be able to open and read all your documents

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://icij.gitbook.io/datashare/usage/faq/general/what-should-i-do-if-i-get-more-than-10-000-results.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
