Hi All,

I'm using 7.16.2 version.

I have a saved search that I'm displaying in dashboard. When I add a filter for a text field which contains certain text I get: "Limited to 500 results. Refine your search. **256** documents"

Why it not displaying first 500? or how can I increase the results limit?

Thanks,  
Shay

Then up to 5000 documents will be shown.

But I don't understand why the limit occur when 256 is less than 500.
