search_issues does not respect default_batch_sizes for Issues #2366
Description
Bug summary
search_issues(..., maxResults=False) is sending maxResults=100 parameter in the request instead of using the batch size for Issue from the default_batch_sizes option.
This causes searches to time out and return 500 status.
It seems there is a mismatch with the maxResults parameter. enhanced_search_issues keeps the old documentation that maxResults limits the number of issues to return, but the called _fetch_pages_searchToken has changed that into the batchsize.
This breaks the usual that maxResults defined the limit and the JIRA.__init__ parameter default_batch_sizes defines the batch sizes for different resources. Seems it was introduced in #2326 to fix #1940.
