Increasing the maximum hit-count in the Navigator

When performing searches in the Therefore Navigator that return a large number of results, you may receive a message suggesting only a certain amount of results have been returned. By default Therefore limits the maximum number of results to 500 to help with performance of the application.

Where possible, the first way to handle this should be to restrict the results by supplying additional criteria in the Index Data dialogue to minimise the number of results. However, sometimes it is still required to view more results at a time; such as when working with workflow's or utilising the searching capabilities for exporting data for reporting.

Please note, the higher the maximum hit-count, the more time search results will take to be returned which can negatively impact the user's experience. We would usually recommend not increasing this value beyond 5000.
