Is it possible to limit the transaction?

After using transactions my "raw" field looks something like this. I want to limit the amount of rows captured  by transaction to be not more than 2? 

Is there anyway I can add to my query now 

| transaction startswith=TestResult="Start"

raw

Hi @moinyuso96,

as you can see in the documentation (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.0/SearchReference/Transaction), it's possible to define the maximum number of events to correlate using "maxevents" option.

Ciao.
