Limits to visible search results in historical records

On the screen, you can see many possible matches when you search for historical records. But FamilySearch.org has a limit of 4,000 results that it can display. The number of search results that you see at the top of the results list indicates the number of possible matches. The number of matches can be more than the number of records available for display.
