I was able to confirm this issue exists in 5.0 as well. After creating 100 visualizations, I cannot find any new ones by browsing the list on the initial visualize page. My new viz does show up if I filter for it. Is this the same for you @lcsthom?

[lcsthom]

Yes, I can get these using the filter too.

I believe this may actually be hardcoded:

kibana/src/core_plugins/kibana/public/visualize/saved_visualizations/saved_visualizations.js

Line 81 in 4469e88

this.find = function (searchString, size = 100) {

I think this is a crude safety break to ensure performance of the display.

I think we should just remove this restriction, because usability of the page will depend on so much more than the number of returned vis (browser/device for one). To me, this just addressed a hypothetical performance problem that may not even ever have occurred (I can be wrong).

@Bargs @epixa what do you think, just remove it?

If we want to keep it because we don't want to spam the page, we should reframe this issue. User should be notified that not all visualizations are returned, add a warning message that says 'please refine your search' or something like that.

I think the best solution would be to introduce actual pagination so that more results are requested when the current result set is exhausted.

Feedback from Elastic{ON} via @LeeDr :
One of our users have saved over 700 visualizations, 100 dashboards, 250 saved searches. It seems like this is starting to become more of a problem so we should be really looking into it.

[epixa]

We need pagination here. We shouldn't wait until the whole revised object management experience is done for this as there seems to be an obvious solution that we should have anyway.

[thomasneirynck]

changed the title to distinguish this issue from #11415

[marius-dr]

Note: the PR merged above only fixed the dashboard listing page and the visualizations listing page. The saved object one is still stuck with only 100 maximum objects.

This will be fixed with 6.4 with the rework of Saved Objects page: #17426.
