Sonatype Nexus using the nuget totalHits properly incorrectly

[steviecoaster]

This is in relation to testing using the Chocolatey GUI application.

The issue is that an incorrect value for the totalHits property is returned. This should always return all the packages on the server that match the search criteria that was used. However, Nexus seems to be returning exactly 1. As a result, Chocolatey GUI can't show the next/previous buttons for the feed, since it doesn't know how many pages of data there are.

For the totalHits query, it is really quite a simple query. We are doing the following:
https://localhost:8081/repository/testing/v3/query/beta?q=&skip=0&take=1&prerelease=false&semVerLevel=2.0.0

When you run this query against Nexus, you get the following response:

There are over 50 packages on that feed, and the totalHits should record the total number of packages that match the query, in this case, there is no search team, so it should return the total count of all packages on the feed.

If i do the same query against nuget.org, you can see that I get a totalHits of 304967:

And, another example using feedz.io, where it shows I have 53 hits:

As per the NuGet Search documentation, the important piece of information is this one:

It seems like Nexus is returning what we ask for in the take which is not correct

This occurs on Nexus version 3.51.0-01 and higher.

We are also experiencing this issue. It would be very helpful if this got resolved.

Thanks for filing this, we're adding it to our triage to reproduce. I know there were some issues nailing this down way back when we built out our original NuGet v2 support for Nexus 3, so there may be a similar pattern occurring.
