Limiting query research to a specified n. of records

Is there a way to limit a query so that it finds only a specified n. of records, and then stops when the rquested records have been found?
I know the LIMIT clause, but it acts only on visualization: the query is executed completely, but only part of the results are showed. Am I wrong?
I'd like to know a way to interrupt the query when the n. of records has been found, in order to minimize the time requested to run the query.
