Can I adjust the "100+ matches in X files" from Intellijs "find in path"

Update: 2021-05-06

Thanks to "Dmitry Jemerov" from JetBrains/IntelliJ for a update on this old topic.

Dmitry says

"In 2021.2 the limit is configurable in Settings | Advanced Settings | Maximum number of results to show in Find In Path/Show Usages preview"

If you don't have that version then the below still applies.

Thanks to "Andrey Dernov" from JetBrains/IntelliJ for answer.

You can set ide.usages.page.size - IntelliJ Registry option. (Help | Find Action... type Registry and set the value in dialog):

This has helped me a lot for large project refactoring.

Edit: This answer is outdated. You can now set the parameter ide.usages.page.size to increase the number of displayed findings. See RoryGS' answer for details.

Old answer:

Currently you only have the option to hit the Open in Find Window button (in the bottom right). But there is an open issue for IntelliJ to change this limit: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-16377 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-157855

Find window


For JetBrain's IDEs in 2021, Help > Edit Custom VM Options, then add -Dide.usages.page.size=200 for 200 results. Adjust as desired. Restart the IDE for changes to take effect.

Add/adjust more VM options you like as well, like max memory usage for example.
