My preferences are set to 500, but my contexts commany return thousands of results.Also, there can be good reasons for showing more items at a time - particularly in an administrative arena, though I agree that in general you shouldn't provide too long a list to site visitors.I don't have much help to provide here, however. I don't generally use shownext - it frustrated me enough in my early days of WebCat development that I developed my own solution to get around it, and haven't looked back.- Brian -- <= Brian C.
