I'm using helm with projectile. When i hit C-c p f - helm-projectile-find-file it shows no more then 100 files, turning off the caching doesn't help. I like to combine this with helm-occur, when i filter a bunch of files, hit M-a to select them all, then 'C-s` to search occurrence in these files, so i wonder if it shows only 100 does it find occurrences in all files.
I think the variable helm-candidate-number-limit is what you're looking for.
Documentation: Limit candidate number globally. Do not show more candidates than this limit from individual sources. It is usually pointless to show hundreds of matches when the pattern is empty, because it is much simpler to type a few characters to narrow down the list of potential candidates.
The default is 100...

C-s runs helm-grep on selected files, not helm-occur. You can already perform grep/ack/ag with helm-projectile-grep/ack/ag. Just run one of those command, and it will search across project directory. See demos and more info in my Helm Projectile guide.
I suggest you shouldn't change the default 100 or smaller, otherwise you should disable fuzzy-matching by adding (setq helm-projectile-fuzzy-match nil) before (require 'helm-projectile) because the more candidates are displayed, the slower fuzzy matching. This number is suggested by Helm maintainer.

Reading your guide on a daily bases, to master my helm+projectile skills. You are right, it runs
helm-grep, but when i'm trying to runhelm-projectile-(grep|ag)C-c p s git doesn't show me anything, even from the current file. – 4lex1v Feb 3 '15 at 16:21 -

Using latest emacs-mac from homebrew. You know just tried
helm-projectile-grepand it worked, but it took 2+ minutes on a big project. I'm not usingprojectile-cache, probably i should turn it on? – 4lex1v Feb 3 '15 at 16:28 -
You should start ignoring files using one of the four variables, otherwise grep will search for everything which takes a long time, and
helm-projectile-grepcannot go faster thangrepitself. Note that if you add something toprojectile-globally-ignore-files/directoriesvariables, those files and directories are also excluded in the file list inhelm-projectile-find-file. Better using ag for large projects. With ag available, usinghelm-projectile-aggives you results instantly, even for projects with more than 30k files. – Tu Do Feb 3 '15 at 16:33
(setq helm-candidate-number-limit n)
replace n with your desired number
