How many lookup options are displayed in a drop-down?
Why lookup drop-downs show a limited number of options, and how to find the one you need
The short answer
To keep performance fast and reliable, the number of lookup options displayed is limited to 100. This ensures that pages and forms load quickly, and prevents your browser from slowing down or freezing.
Can I load more than 100 results?
No. This limit is intentionally in place for performance reasons. If there are more than 100 possible matches, try typing a few more characters to refine your search. This helps you find the exact option faster and keeps the system responsive.
