Splunk Search

Splunk CLI search only returns 100 events

Hi,
I am looking for a Splunk CLI search workaround for option (-maxout 0) which shows unlimited events instead of default 100.

Can we make any config file change so that I don’t have to give this option for all my CLI searches?

Thanks

Yann, is there a configuration file to set the default higher for all CLI searches?
