Override Search limit over 250 limits

Question
-
Hi guys
we are running an Exchange 2016 CU8 server on Windows Server 2016. We have 3 Citrix Terminal Servers with users working with Outlook 2016 in Online Mode.
The default search limit is 250 results, which we want to increase to 1000. As far as i red with Exchange 2016 CU4 and newer it can be done with that script in the Exchange Shell:
New-SettingOverride -Name “Exceed Search Limit over 250” -Component ManagedStore -Section StoreSettings -Reason “Override Search limit over 250 limits” -Parameters @("MaxHitsForFullTextIndexSearches=1000")
I tried that but i wasn't successful. When i run a get-SettingOverride i receive that:
RunspaceId : 802aae8f-a9a3-4780-b232-54af8bd65f8d
ComponentName : ManagedStore

Hi,
According to my research
Once you have finished running the script "New-SettingOverride",you also have to adjust a setting within the Outlook client as well.
By default there is a checkbox set under Outlook Options -> Search labeled "Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown". This must be unchecked.
I find a similar case here for your reference: Outlook search limited to 250 resultsRegards,
