I am using  
@query = Ferret::Search::PrefixQuery.new(“name”, params[:q],:max\_terms  
=\> 1000)

to find the result from the Users table having their name start with the  
given parameter.

It only gives me 10 results ever after giving parameter max\_terms =\>  
1000

I dont know what the error is can you please suggest me something.

Thank You in Advance.
