Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Use the iOS app to search for text
  2. Only five results return
Expected behaviour

The iOS app unified search function usually lists five results followed by a "Show more results" link

Actual behaviour

The "Show more results" link does not display if fulltextsearch is enabled. It does display if fulltextsearch is disabled.
