Splunk Search Limits

All searches appear to be limited to 1000 results in the UI. Can this be modified in a configuration setting somewhere?

Screenshot of message indicating that the limit is 1000 has been attached.

The default value of 50000 can be modified by editing the [searchresults] stanza in limits.conf:

 [searchresults]
 maxresultrows = 100000

Thanks Manish. If the default value is 50000, then why are we seeing a limit of 1000? I don't think we've ever changed this value, mostly because we're in a managed cloud instance and don't have access to change that value. Perhaps the default is different for cloud instances?
