azure search work around $skip limit

Question

I'm doing a job to check if all records from my database exists on Azure Search (around 610k). However there's a 100000 limit with the $skip parameter. Is there a way to work around this limit?

Answer 1

You can not facet over more thank 100K documents, however, you can add facets to work around this. For example, let’s say you have a facet called Country and no one facet has more than 100K documents. You can facet over all documents where Country == ‘Canada’, then facet over all documents where Country == ‘USA’, etc…
