# maxFacetHits

> Maximum number of facet values to retrieve when searching for facet values

export const Setting = ({type, default: defaultValue, defaultNote, scope, min, max, formerly}) => {
  const renderedDefault = defaultValue === '' ? '""' : defaultValue;
  const renderedNote = defaultNote ? `(${defaultNote})` : '';
  return <ul>
      <li><strong>Type:</strong> <code>{type}</code></li>
      <li><strong>Default:</strong> <code>{renderedDefault}</code>{renderedNote}</li>
      {min && <li><strong>Min:</strong> <code>{min}</code></li>}
      {max && <li><strong>Max:</strong> <code>{max}</code></li>}
      <li><strong>Scope:</strong> <a href="/doc/api-reference/api-parameters"><code>{scope}</code></a></li>
      {formerly && <li>
          <strong>Deprecated name:</strong> <code>{formerly}</code>
        </li>}
    </ul>;
};

<Setting type="integer" default="10" scope="settings,search" min="1" max="100" />

## Usage

* Only applies to [`searchForFacetValues`](/doc/rest-api/search/search-for-facet-values) operations.
* To change the number of retrieved facet values for a regular search, see [`maxValuesPerFacet`](/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/maxValuesPerFacet).
