Hello,

To change the items per page you need to go to click the edit button on the Search results widget. Select advanced and change the value in the screenshot below:

http://screencast.com/t/3OrQ73mGu1X

By default it is set to 10.

To extend the search I would suggest you to review these blog posts where you could find useful information which will help you to customize your search the way you want:
