Unfortunately, it doesn't allow more results:

     --max-hits
          Reduce  the  number  of  search  results  returned  per
          backend.  The default  is  100, and  this  is also  the
          maximum allowed.  --stats-only  Show only statistics on
          the number  of search results  and how long it  took to
          get them, and not the results themselves.

It's one of these one size fits all solutions that I'm not comfortable
with.

But that's also not very user friendly, for my purposes.  I'm looking
for something in between: simply a search tool that is sufficiently
flexible.
