i-fix Name: PK43726


Problem Summary: Portlets in Portlet Palette are unavailable even for wpsadmin.
                 Also unavailable for other users even though all portlets are
                 allowed on the page.


Detailed Problem Description: SearchableManager.usePortletPreferences sets the
                              MAX_NUMBER_RESULTS attribute to 300 when the 
                              portlet preference maxItems is null (not present).
                              Thus it was arbitrarily truncating part of the 
                              list of portlets that are allowed on the page 
                              making the palette believe the portlets it was 
                              marking as forbidden were not allowed on the page.

                              Problem manifests as unexpected forbidden symbols
                              for portlets in the portlet palette.

Problem Analysis: See detailed problem description.

Failing Module: wp.admin.common.jar

Problem Solution: Updated SearchableManager so that there would be no limit
                  when a portlet has no maxItems set in its preferences. 
                  This results in no limit for portlets on the palette.

Affected Users: All portal installations that use the portlet palette.
