Hello @marcinw ,
to answer you questen, why this error message is thrown, we need your DATAGERRY version and your search query.
The message comes from MongoDB. With ‘$skip’ MongoDB controls over which position in the documents the objects should be fetched. ‘$skip’ takes a positive integer that specifies the maximum number of documents to skip.
