Are you performing a search or an advanced search that returns thousands and thousands of contacts from which you have to select a large number of contacts to perform different actions, such as exporting to a spreadsheet, creating mailing labels, adding them to groups, etc.?
Instead of just showing the default of 50 contacts/page, you can alter the URL on the search results pages to show more than 100 records at a time.
In order to do this, perform your Search
Look at the bottom of the page when Civi returns all the contacts that meet your search criteria. The default is set to 50.
Change number of rows to show from default 50 to 100 by clicking on 100.
Now look at the end of the URL in your browser (note the crmRowCount value is 100):
https://civicrm.org/civicrm/group/search?force=1&context=smog&gid=120&qfKey=16a9fc50e1f63ec5d92053c8d6385885_7318&crmRowCount=100
Change that to a larger number (e.g. crmRowCount=550), and hit enter with your cursor in the browser location bar. Voila. All subsequent pages in the search results will have that number of rows.
This quick tip should save you time.
