Plain text (query.dll) IFilter file size limit

[Chris West]

Hi,

Does the plain text IFilter (query.dll) have a maximum file size that it
can process?

When I try extracting from two text files, one of 30MB and the other of
41MB the IFilter will only extract the first 25MB from both files.

If I run ifilttst.exe against both files it will report 9 errors with
each. Each error appears as:

5092.4644 : +TEST+SEV1 GetChunk() failed for unknown reason. The return
code is 0x8004173e

If there is a limit on file size can this be changed or is there another
work around?

Cheers,

Chris.

Dear Chris
If your having problems with file too large to index, change the
MaxTextFilterBytes in the registry to a larger value.
the default is 25,000,000 this can be changed at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex

Take a look at the MaxDownloadSize and MaxGrowFactor registry values too
located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Search\1.0\Gathering Manager

I think from memory that their is a Knowledge Base Articule kb318747 but
ton't quote me on that

Thanks Don, I was able to increase the size to accommodate the files I
was processing (and the Knowledge Base article number was correct:)
