I'm using the biblatex package to add citations and a bibliography to my LaTeX document. I've noticed that only the first author plus "et al." is displayed for works with more than three authors. That's fine with me for in-text-citations, but I'd rather have the complete author information in the bibliography. How can I do that?

What about name lists for editors or translators? If you want to apply the same truncation throughout, just use the package option maxnames=2. The rest is achieved by redefining \finalnamedelim - a macro that sets the delimiter before the final item in a name list.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,maxnames=2]{biblatex}
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\addspace\&\space}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Filler text \parencite{bertram,companion,jaffe,moraux}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
The above sample document applies the format in both citations and the bibliography. To limit it only to the bibliography, use the option maxbibnames=2 and
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{%
\ifbibliography
{\addspace\&\space}
{\ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
\addspace\bibstring{and}\space}}
If you're really determined to define your own style, I'd use the generic name formats from biblatex.def as a starting point. Your format deviates from these in terms of name delimiters (\bibnamedelim...), name part format (\mkbibname..., casing, initials, order, etc.), elimination of spurious whitespace (\addspace) and localization (\bibstring{andothers}). Unless you apply similar formats to editor, bookauthor, translator, etc. your name lists will appear inconsistent.
biblatex uses \printnames{labelname} to print out author names. Therefor it only prints maxcitenames, and at least mincitenames author names (for the bibliography maxbibnames/minbibnames).
So setting maxcitenames to 1 is the default behaviour you want: Morrs et al., while the fullcite only is wanted if the cite is not seen yet.
You can patch the existing bibmacros \textcite and \cite which are used by \citet and \citep with the xpatch-package. With it you can replace \printnames{labelname} with \printnames[][-\value{listtotal}]{labelname} which will print out ALL names, no matter what maxcitenames says.
If the cite was already seen, you can check with \ifciteseen{}{}, therefore you have to enable manually the citetracker-option from biblatex (see preamble). Maybe you have to adjust this option, so it fits your needs.

UPDATE
Simply set the package option
maxbibnames=99in the preamble.There are also other options:
minalphanames: the minimum number of alphabetic authors to be displayed.minbibnames: the minimum number of authors displayed in bibliography.mincitenames: the minimum number of authors displayed in citations.minnames: sets bothminbibnamesandmincitenamesmaxalphanames: the maximum number of alphabetic authors to be displayed.maxbibnames: the maximum number of authors displayed in bibliography.maxcitenames: the maximum number of authors displayed in citations.maxnames: sets bothmaxbibnamesandmaxcitenames. Default value is3.Notes
biblatex1.1, which was released on January 5th, 2011, introduced the optionsmaxbibnames,minbibnames,maxcitenamesandmincitenames(settable in the document preamble and in the configuration filebiblatex.cfg).biblatex1.6, which was released on July 29th, 2011, "removed the local max/minnames and max/minitems options from\printbibliographyand friends to enforce consistency. Please use the global options instead." (Release notes)ORIGINAL ANSWER:
The maximum number of displayed authors - both for in-text-citations and the bibliography - is controlled by the option
maxnames(with a default value of 3). To show all authors only in the bibliography, don't change the value ofmaxnamesin the document preamble, but use the optional argument of\printbibliographyinstead: Typeat the place in your document where you want the bibliography to appear.
If you want all bibliographies (and lists of shorthands) in all your LaTeX documents to display the complete author information, instead of typing
[maxnames=99]every time, you can add the following code to the configuration filebiblatex.cfg:Note that is a hack which uses internal
biblatexcommands and hopefully will be replaced by a proper package option in a later version ofbiblatex(the current version is 0.9b). (\patchcmdderives from theetoolboxpackage, which is loaded automatically bybiblatex.)
