Suggestion: Add a year filter on the GBIF query and increase number of records

[timrobertson100]

The GBIF index holds data covering >100 years.
When you query the GBIF index you don't include a year filter, and you only page 3 times (of 300 results each). I'd suggest considering adding a &year>1980 or similar to the filter to get the latest data.

I'd also suggest considering something like 10 pages of 250 records by using &limit=250
or more pages. 900 is both somewhat bizarre and quite low - ideally the user should be able to increase to a very large amount.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will have a look into setting a year in our query.

Regarding the limit we have a task on our todo list to allow subsequent searches for the next pages of the results. We are limiting to 900 to avoid overwhelming the user's browser/machine. But this was specified a few years back, we are confident that we can increase this limit. So it's in our radar to do so.

Thanks again! :) And feel free to send any other suggestions!
