The Full-Text Search function limit should be increased to at least 1000 records at a time, ideally to limitless records. Could the EndNote developers support a ticket for this?
There is no computational basis for limiting the search to 250 records in EndNote when it is installed on a PC running Windows 10. I have used EndNote since 1995, and I clearly recall the first version’s 1000 record limit.

I strongly support the suggestion to increase the Full-Text Search (Find Full Text) limit in EndNote beyond the current threshold of 250 records.
As an academic user, I frequently work with large reference libraries and rely heavily on comprehensive full-text searches to identify relevant literature quickly and efficiently. The current restriction significantly hampers the utility of the search function, particularly for researchers managing thousands of references across multiple projects.
Increasing the search capacity to at least 1000 records—or ideally removing the limit entirely—would greatly enhance the program’s effectiveness as a research tool.

But they are not going to do it in V21.
I keep seeing people asking for things that “used to be in Endnote”
I won’t be upgrading my Endnote V21. If I do move, it will be to something else.
Ah, yes—what a shock to see this thread sitting here, untouched, since October 2022.
Let me summarize the EndNote Developer Response™ so far:
Crickets
Tumbleweeds
The sound of a single tear hitting a keyboard
Fun fact: The first version of EndNote (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) allowed 1,000 records. Now, in the era of AI, quantum computing, and actual limitless cloud storage, we’re blessed with a 250-record cap. Progress!
But please, do take another 2 years to deliberate whether modernizing this feature is worth the effort. We’ll just be over here, manually searching in batches like it’s pre-1995.
P.S. If silence is the official response, could you at least make it a feature? Call it "Zen Mode: Developer Edition.
