Summary
Currently, when you search for a package, the autocomplete returns an undefined amount of results.
For example, if you start to search for a symfony package, the following URL is called via ajax: https://poser.pugx.org/search_packagist?name=sym
Such URL is returning a json of 1000 (one thoushand!) objects, while the user interface shows only first 10 results.
I think this is a big waste of resources: we should limit search results to 10 results (or maybe to 20, just to leave room for a bigger space in UI)
Ok, I think it's necessary to do it.
Have you thought about creating a page to view all results or something similar?
Or is it not necessary?
Since we're talking about an autocomplete, there's no need to see all results.
I would to add a request: please do not open a PR to solve this issue now, we would like to keep it for our Hacktoberfest
