C# Microsoft Graph SDK - Paging limits

Question

I have investigated that if I use a search filter as follows:

string filter = String.Format("\"subject:\"");

List<QueryOption> options = new List<QueryOption>
{
    new QueryOption("$search", filter)
};

var messages = graphClient.Me
    .MailFolders
    .Inbox
    .Messages
    .Request(options)
    .Top(500)
    .Select("id, Categories, Subject")
    .GetAsync()
    .Result;

Despite me using Top(500), the results cut off at 275, I think there is a page limit associated with the search filter, does anyone know how to workaround this in the SDK?

If I do not include options in the messages query i.e. if I do Request(), I get all messages.

Note that the Messages.NextPageProperty also seems to return null so I cannot use this.

This is how the $search parameter works. From the documentation:

Note: You can currently search only message and person collections. A $search request returns up to 250 results. You cannot use $filter or $orderby in a search request.
