How to set max amount on search result page in OTRS / Znuny?

In OTRS you can use some defaults to see results of ticket searches. These amount of results is configurable with the gear icon on the top left corner of the search result area. Here you have the defaults of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. This is okay for most cases but sometimes you need a greater result page.
