SUMMARY
When you add the Microsoft Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Directory service to your Microsoft Outlook 98 profile, the default
maximum number of matches to return when you perform a search is 100.
Although there is no way to modify this setting through the Outlook
interface, you can modify it in the registry.
