autocomplete - how to change limit of results?

hi erveryone.

I use jquery autocomplete plugin in that way:

$("#autotest").autocomplete('mysearch.php', {
                        width: 300,
                        multiple: true,
                        matchContains: true,
                        formatItem: formatItem,
                        formatResult: formatResult
                     });


my phpscript returns more that 10 items. but with autocomplete I always get 10 items.

How can I change that limitation?

I found in jquery documentation that the parameter "max" can be used. But that doesn'T work for me.

from jqery documentation:
"max": Limit the number of items in the select box. Is also sent as a "limit" parameter with a remote request.


How can I change the "limit"-Parameter?
