I don't know what you mean by "turning this off". The helper doing this is the readline library. Your shell picks configuration for readline from the files /etc/inputrc and ~/.inputrc. There is one variable which limits the maximum number of possible completions shown (default is 100). The variable is called completion-query-items So, if I understood you correctly, you might experiment with putting set completion-query-items 1000 in your file ~/.inputrc. Or you set it to a negative number, then you're never asked (do at your own risk :-) See bash's man page, section READLINE, and the readline man page. But perhaps I didn't understand you correctly.
