I installed ELK 7.3. When I use a Controls visualization, the dropdown list does not include all items I expected from the specified index pattern. A little warning rectangle shows: Terms is incomplete. Adjust autocomplete setting in kibana.yml for more result. Which setting I should update in kibana.yml? Thanks ahead.

Here it is from the [Configuring Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) docs:

`kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter`: **Default: "100000"** Maximum number of documents loaded by each shard to generate autocomplete suggestions. This value must be a whole number greater than zero.
