What is the max search limit for a macro

Hello,

I have a macro that calls other macros in order to have a simple view of the code search.
The thing is that when running the macro I'm getting empty values, when I select the key combination control+shIft+e then select Open in New search I get all the results, I have only power user, how can I found out what's going on.

Thanks.

Can you provide an example of a nested macro that doesn't work as expected?

hello,
the code contains several macros and sub searches what I did was to take out the index=Linux for example out from the macro and now it works, not sure why this set up truncated the search.
