Why do you need to increase the lines shown? There are various limits in Splunk, e.g. if you just run a simple search

index=*

it will show you 10,000 results max, but if you run

index=*
| stats count

it will tell you how many result you have, which can be > 10000

10k exactly is usually due to a subsearch or the sort command. If sort, try changing sort to 'sort - 0'. If subsearch, look at the limits.conf file and increase the maxout integer.

maxout = x
