# Maximum Results Guide

## Understanding MaxResults Settings

### What is MaxResults?

MaxResults controls how many alternative coins are displayed when multiple matches are found for a cryptocurrency symbol or name.

```javascript
// Example: Searching for "PEPE" might return:
{
    "PEPE": [
        { name: "Pepe", rank: 523, ... },          // Main PEPE token
        { name: "Pepe Coin BSC", rank: 1247, ... }, // Alternative
        { name: "Arbi Pepe", rank: 1892, ... },    // Alternative
        { name: "Based Pepe", rank: 2341, ... }    // Alternative
    ]
}
```

### Slider Configuration

* Range: 2-6 results
* Default: 2 results
* Adjustable: Real-time via popup slider

### How It Works

#### Ranking System:

* Results are sorted by market rank
* Lower rank = higher priority
* Top-N results shown (N = MaxResults setting)

#### Display Priority:

* Primary tokens shown first
* Alternative versions follow
* Sorted by market capitalization

## Use Cases

### **Low Setting (2-3)**

#### Best for:

* Clean interface
* Main tokens only
* Reduced API usage
* Mobile viewing

### **High Setting (4-6)**

#### Best for:

* Alternative token discovery
* Detailed market research
* Finding similar tokens
* Desktop viewing

### API Considerations

#### CoinMarketCap API:

* Higher limits allow more results
* Better for high MaxResults settings
* More detailed token information

#### CoinPaprika API:

* Limited to 60 requests/hour
* Consider lower MaxResults
* Conserve API calls
