Override Search limit over 250 limits RRS feed

  • 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
    SectionName       : StoreSettings
    AppId             : EXO
    FlightName        :
    Reason            : Override Search limit over 250 limits
    MinVersion        :
    MaxVersion        :
    FixVersion        :
    Server            :
    IsFlight          : False
    Parameters        : {MaxHitsForFullTextIndexSearches=1000}
    Status            : Accepted
    XmlRaw            : <S CN="ManagedStore" SN="StoreSettings" R="Override Search limit over 250
                        limits"><Ps><P>MaxHitsForFullTextIndexSearches=1000</P></Ps></S>

    Id                : Exceed Search Limit over 250
    IsValid           : True

    Can someone help me to achive to increase the search results to 1000?

    Many thanks and best regards,

  • 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 results
