Typeahead always shows only 5 suggestions maximum

In Typeahead version 0.11.1:

Specify "limit" during the instantiation of the typeahead object to set the number of suggestions to display e.g.

// Instantiate the Typeahead UI
$('.typeahead').typeahead(null, {
 limit: 10, // This controls the number of suggestions displayed
 displayKey: 'value',
 source: movies
});

See a working example here:

In Typeahead version 0.10.4.

The Bloodhound suggestion engine has a default value of five for the "limit" option (i.e. The max number of suggestions to return from Bloodhound#get)

You can increase the limit by specifying the desired value when you instantiate your Bloodhound object. For example, to specify a limit of 10:

var isearch = new Bloodhound({
 datumTokenizer: function(d) { 
     return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d.value); 
 },
 queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
 remote: "http://localhost/search/get-data/%QUERY",
 limit: 10
});

An example of an instance of Typeahead where the limit is set to 10 can be found here:

In my case 'limit' option worked but in different way. I had to put limit option on typeahead instead of Bloodhound. I am posting my case, so that it might help someone.

bloodhoundSuggestionEngine = new Bloodhound({
datumTokenizer : function(d) {
return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d.key);
},
queryTokenizer : Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
local : myOptions
});

$("#myinputbox").typeahead({
minLength : 3,
highlight : true
}, {
displayKey : 'key',
source : bloodhoundSuggestionEngine.ttAdapter(),
limit: 10
});

In Typeahead version 0.11.1:

Specify "limit" during the instantiation of the typeahead object to set the number of suggestions to display but make sure it is one less than than the maximum number your source returns.

// Instantiate the Typeahead UI
$('.typeahead').typeahead(null, {
    limit: 9, // one less than your return value. This controls the number of suggestions displayed
    displayKey: 'value',
    source: movies
});
