Hi list,
We have observed a strange behavior in our Geonetwork 2.6.4 with csw.
It seems that the maxRecords value is treated differently depending you use resultType="results_with_summary" or resultType="results"
# resultType="results" startPosition="3" maxRecords="4"
=> numberOfRecordsReturned="4"
=> behaviour expected from the 07-006r1_OpenGIS_Catalogue_Services_Specification_V2.0.2.pdf
# resultType="results_with_summary" startPosition="3" maxRecords="4" (the rest of the query being exactly the same)
=> numberOfRecordsReturned="2"
=> maxRecords seems to be interpreted as an endPosition. Thus startPosition="3" maxRecords="2" does not work as the system starts at item n°3 but doesnot move backward to get item n°2. And startPosition="3" maxRecords="3" only return item n°3.
