Ah, yes, make that..........
Main Menu --> Maintenance--> User Settings, then go down to "#11"

Glad to see you are getting some events listed.
I'd suggest searching 1 night at a time. Then you can deepen your search criteria and it will 1) take a shorter time to complete a search, 2) not risk an overload error.

FYI: In a 1 night search this time of year I get an initial listing of 300+ events per night. Many are low to 0% chance, but several are rather promising double-digit probability. This is using a "Distance of site from path of 250km" in "List & Display" (this shows me what I can get if I consider going mobile). I then narrow down this value to 50 to 80km. [As a sample, I just called up a search for 11/13 and I see double-digit chances of? - 45%, 38%, 100%, 17%, 12%, 43%, 41%, and 67%].

Again.... Your initial search will be based on MPC elements. To get the JPL/Horizon paths, there is a further step (which we can cover later -- in maybe a Zoom session).
