 * Hi there
 * in Admin View, the search function only searches records that appear on that 
   page. Is it possible to search the entire database?

 * Not in the admin view. Although you can set a CFDB Option to load more records
   in that page.
 * You can create a shortcode on a page to do such a search. [https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=680](https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=680)

 * Hi Michael
 * Thanks for getting back and sorry for my late follow up
 * I have just under 16000 records that I want to search. When I increase the maximum
   records for a page to 16000 and then browse to the Admin View, the following 
   message is displayed “Returned entries 1 to 15915 of 15915 entries in the database”,
   however the results themselves aren’t.
 * My preference is to use the Admin View because I have purchased the CFDB Editor,
   and if I need to edit a particular record, I first have to find it.
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide

 * I think that your server is running out of memory trying to process all of those
   results.
 * You might try creating a private page with a [form to search the DB](https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=680)
   which displays them in an editable datatable.
