Unless your server supports full text search, this plugin will requests for all chat history of the chatbox or chat rooom and then does an in-memory search client-side on the fetched chat history messages.

The max parameter tells the XMPP server MAM implementation to limit the messages sent over the wire to max. In most cases, the server already has its own limit.
