I am trying to use the contacts.find api to fill in an autocomplete box. It is too slow to be useful in this context.

Please provide a way to limit the number of contact objects returned from the contacts.find api.

Possibly add a new option to contactFindOptions, something like "maxContacts". For example:

  maxContacts: Determines how many contact objects the find operation should return. (Integer) (Default: 1000)

Here is a code snippet of what I am trying to do:

    $(&rsquo;#contacts input:last&rsquo;).autocomplete({source: function (request, response) {
      options = new ContactFindOptions();
      options.filter = request.term;
      options.multiple = true; 
      fields = ["displayName", "phoneNumbers", "emails"];
      navigator.service.contacts.find(fields,
        function (contacts) {
          var responseList = [];
          console.log(&rsquo;contacts found for &rsquo; + request.term + &rsquo;: &rsquo; + contacts.length);
          $.each(contacts, function (index, contact) {
            //console.log(contact);
            // limit to 10 autocomplete contacts
            // note: the contacts.find api takes a long time to return when there are
            // many contacts that match the options.filter
            if (index > 10) {
              return false;  // break
            }
