Hello,

 I am wondering if there is a way to increase the limit of items returned for a search from 250 to something more?

 Example -

• UserA has a mailbox. 3000+ emails, 1 year worth of data in the Inbox.
  
• UserA has his Outlook configured in "online" mode (cache disabled). "Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown" is disabled as well (in the Options > Search). 
• UserA runs a search for letter "a".
• Search returns 250 items - no option to get more at the bottom of search results.
• UserA logs in to OWA.
• Runs a search for letter "a" again.
• OWA returns 250 items and says "If you can't find what you were looking for, please try more specific terms"

 Exception -

If UserA puts his Outlook in cached mode, and allows it to cache everything, the search (performed locally by the indexer on UserA's machine) will find way more than 250 items.

 This behavior is observed in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013.
 This was not an issue when UserA was on Exchange 2010 - when the user clicked "Get More" after the initial results from Search, it would load everything else it found.

 Question - Where on the Exchange server can I modify the setting for this, and is it modifiable?

 Answers similar to "have user use more specific terms" or "have user specify a time range" are not what I am looking for. This worked in 2010 and having to tell the user to use more specific terms will equal to a disaster.

Please advise, thanks.

Hello,

I'm afraid that there is no way to modify the setting.

Hello,

Sorry for delayed response.

At present, there is no related sp/cu to modify the setting.

I ran into this limitation as well. If the client is in non-cached Exchange mode it will only return 250 search results.

I've tested this with Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2013.  I'm not sure why this changed or if it is even mentioned in Exchange 2013 documentation. It is a headache for sure.

Is this stil the case?

On my local PC with Win 8.1 and Office 2013 Pro Plus, my Outlook is able to show more than 250 results.

Is this specific to Office 2013 on Remote Desktop servers (2012 R2) running up against an Exchange 2013??

Dears,

I have Exchange 2013 CU6, searching by old terms (One year ago) in my mailbox give me no results.

Even if I change the time range of te search.

May be the "Fast Search Engine" is a step back for Exchange Team.
