You are viewing an article from our legacy "FastTrack" publication program, made available for informational purposes. Articles in this program were published without a requirement for independent editing or verification and are provided"as is" without guarantee.

Before using any information from this article, independently verify its suitability for your situation and project.
This article explains why only a portion of some web content appears to be indexed. For example, only some portions of text files are indexed for search while other portions are not searchable.

Resolution

This is intended behavior. Indexing for files is controlled by the portal-ext.property:

dl.file.indexing.max.size

Any file that is bigger than this defined file size will not be fully indexed. Therefore, only a small portion—for example, the first 330 lines in the case of a text file—will be searchable. 

This behavior is a function of Lucene/Solr and exists for scalability.
