I just created a dashboard and added a saved search.  
No matter how large I scale it, it will only display 50 results at once. Is it possible to increase this number?

The behavior looks like this: that setting isn't taken in account in the dashboard, unless you have the size field inside your saved object. So for the workaround to work for you, you need to set both limits: the size inside the the object and the advanced setting (which is the one whose number is taken into account). I had added an issue on the Kibana repo and I'll update it with this new information. [https://gith…](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11758)

This solution let me limit the results.  
But my problem is that I want to show more than 50 at a time.

I set `discover:sampleSize` and `size` to multiple different values but I could only decrease the shown results but not increase.

then i am afraid this is not possible at the moment. But please do open a feature request on github, it sounds something that would be very reasonable to have.

I just stumbled upon this:

Seems there is no way this will be implemented any time soon. 😥
