I think so, depending on the size of the set. Doing a full preview on, 
say, 50,000 replacements sounds not only resource-intensive but tedious 
to go through the results (at least without some way to filter or search 
to look for undesirable outcomes), while if the set is only 100 to begin 
with I might well prefer to see them all.

Maybe a (regressive?) percentage of the result set with also a floor and 
a ceiling? Or allow the user to choose what number/percent they want up 
to some reasonable functional limit?
