  I used to limit it in the first versions of my program. Some day I commented
here and Christophe told me something like "there must be something broken in
your program; don't limit the qsearch, you'll save nodes because of the better
information".
  I fixed my problem (move ordering) and have been working perfectly since then.
I also did extensive testing some time ago and non-limiting-qsearch version got
better results.
