I use MTOS5.1.
I wanted to display more than 20 posts, so, tried the below.
http://example.com/mt-search.cgi?search="key words"&IncludeBlogs=1&limit=40&SearchResultDisplay=ascend
But MT displayed only 20 posts again. There are 21 matching posts exactly.
How can I realize what I want?
Thanks.

Please try to write this line in your mt-config.cgi file.
SearchMaxResults 40
Thanks, Nick.
I made it. But I have a problem.
Not only I use "http://example.com/~ascend" but also MT shows more than 20 post at other section. For example, Side bar's search box, feed, etc.
I want to make it, when only using "http://example.com/~ascend". Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Though I'm not sure your situation, are you using mt-search.cgi logic not only for search results, but also for sidebar and other parts?
How about limiting the parts as you wrote,
http://example.com/mt-search.cgi?search="key words"&IncludeBlogs=1&limit=20&SearchResultDisplay=ascend
40 => 20 where you want to limit results?
Hi, Nick,
Thanks, again. I finally made it.
What I wanted is this.
When I use "http://example.com/~ascend" as an external link, I want to display more than 20 posts by mt-search.cgi.
First, I changed 20 into 40 of the link. But I couldn't have my expecting result because MT's default "SearchMaxResults" set value was very strong.
Next, by your suggestion, I wrote "SearchMaxResults 40" in my mt-config.cgi file. But this reflected other parts, so I was in trouble.
Today, I searched for the tag <$mt:SearchMaxResults$> in my template files. I found them in two places and rewrote <$mt:SearchMaxResults$> => 20.
