Why do I see only 100 sequences in my BLAST search results even though I changed Max target sequences to 500 prior to my search?

Selecting the maximum number of sequences to be displayed in BLAST® search results is a two-step process:
  • Before the search, select the Max target sequences number from the pull-down menu under General Algorithm Parameters located under the BLAST button on the BLAST search input pages.
  • After the search completes, use the Formatting options (the link is located at the top of the search results page) to limit Descriptions and/or Graphical overview to the desired number. For Alignments, you have to scroll down near the bottom of the page to continue to load more alignments.
