Description

In: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/blob/20bf20500c95208c3ac0ef07245065bf94dcab15/lua/telescope/pickers.lua#L561C1-L565C44 , the comment seems to indicate that the default value for max_result should be 10000.

But in:

When users search for keywords, they may scroll beyond 250 entries to find a specific item. If the actual number of entries exceeds 250, users might mistakenly believe that they have thoroughly searched for the keywords.

And traversing 250 entries is more likely compared to navigating through 10000 entries.

So, I believe setting max_result to 10000 is more reasonable, or alternatively, allowing users to configure this value based on their performance preferences would be a better option.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.9.2
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1692716794

Operating system and version

Ubuntu 22.04

Telescope version / branch / rev

master

checkhealth telescope

==============================================================================
telescope: require("telescope.health").check()

Checking for required plugins ~
- OK plenary installed.
- OK nvim-treesitter installed.

Checking external dependencies ~
- OK rg: found ripgrep 13.0.0
- OK fd: found fd 8.3.1

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim
2. :Telescope highlights
3. The prompt shows the total of result may beyond 250 (like 500 or something)
4. When you scolling results list, you'll find that not all results is on the Results list.

Expected behavior

The max_result value should set to something like 10000 not 250, or alternatively, allowing users to configure this value based on their performance preferences would be a better option.

Actual behavior

The max_result seems accidentally set to 250, whcih users might mistakenly believe that they have thoroughly searched for the keywords.
