"There are too many results for this search. Try to search again with more specific keywords"

Question

Hello, 
 Could you tell me how I can extend the number of returned rows in a search in the web interface, please? 
 I'm getting following warning message when results exceeds 1000 rows: "There are too many results for this search. Try to search again with more specific keywords"

Thanks in advance 
 Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo, There was an earlier thread about this: https://www.quest.com/community/one-identity/identity-manager/f/identity-manager-forum/22357/web-portal-bug-there-are-too-many-results-message-with-no-data-to-display . There are two search options within a form. The first, by default, is the search at the top of the grid, looks through all of these objects, even those that the logged in user doesn't have permission for. The second type of search is to use the "Filter" icon. This will search inside the already provided results, instead of starting a lucene/global search. The second search on the grid filter, will send direct SQL statements to the database server, and not use the search index. The only limitation of using the filter, is it can only load 200 results. This is fixed in 8.0.2 and above, by implementing some new filter strategies. But doing so can have a performance cost. I think in this case it may help to simply filter your search, as per the above thread. Hope this helps. Trevor
