When an ldap search is truncated (either because the result set was larger than the client max-results setting, or because the result set was larger than the server was willing to send), we pop up a dialog that says "Unable to perform search.". This is the same dialog that we pop up when there's an actual error that keeps the user from seeing entries. In the truncation case, though, the query works - the user just isn't getting all the results. It's a little misleading to say we were unable to perform a search when there are actual results in the view. How about changing that dialog to say something like "Some results not shown". The secondary text is good, in my opinion, and can remain.. the primary text, though, needs changing in this instance. screenshot attached.
