Info: The described step can only be performed on the on-premise version of Studio Server, not on the cloud version.
When a search is performed in Studio or Studio for InDesign and InCopy, a very large number of files can potentially be found.
In order not to negatively impact performance, a maximum of 50 files at a time are displayed by default. Users can use the navigation tools to see the next or previous group of 50 files. This controlled by the DBMAXQUERY option.
Note: This option is also used for controlling other features, such as the number of files that are added to a Book when running the OpenIssueAsBook.jsx script.
To change this maximum number, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Open the configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file) on Studio Server.

<Studio Server path>/config
Step 2. Locate the setting DBMAXQUERY .
define ('DBMAXQUERY', 50);
Step 3. Set the value of the setting to the desired number.
Note: Entering “0” (zero) will display all found files in one long list. Because this can have a negative impact on performance and affects other features that make use of this option, using a value of zero is not recommended.
