Splunk Search

Feels like "return" command should support argument of 0 (all). Thoughts?

When performing subsearches using the return command, I am often disgusted with myself for employing a not-future-proof strategy of hard-coding an arbitrarily high count of count of records (say 9999) to return to my primary command.

Does anyone else sense a logical break in use of the return command in this regard?

Can you think of any cons to adding an option to return 0 (all) results?
