views_get_view not respecting "Items to display"

Thanks Daniel, here is the code, it is very simple:

$view = views_get_view('related');
$view->exposed_input['keys'] = check_plain(str_replace(" "," OR ",$node->title));
$view->set_items_per_page(4); // Items to display not respected
$view->set_arguments($args);
print $view->render('block_1');

For now I use set_items_per_page so I get only as much as I want :)

I am adding the view in a txt so we wont have to scroll too much :)

With the print $view->render('block_1'); I just want to print out the view that's it :)

Not sure about all the execute and preexecute stuff, but will try the preview as you mention.
