Documentation

Definition

The contents of this field specify how many lines the list of possible entries may at most contain. If the number of possible entries is greater than the specified value, not all of the possibilities are displayed. In this case the system outputs a message indicating that there are further input options.

Note

Entering a 0 in this field causes all the possible entries to be displayed every time. Since determining all the possible entries could be very time-consuming, and can have effects on the performance of the whole system (even for other users) you should not normally use this option.

For this reason, entering a 0 in this field is not allowed as a general setting, but only for the personalization of individual search helps.
