2. You may wish to modify the

   Code Block
   search.maxfieldlength

   field in your dspace.cfg configuration file. This field specifies the maximum number words to index for each document, and by default is set to the first 10,000 words. (Set it to the value

   Code Block
   -1

   , if you want to index an unlimited number of words)search.maxfieldlength = 10000
3. If you choose to modify the

   Code Block
   search.maxfieldlength

   field you must Re-index+DSpace before the change will take affect.

Notes:

• Full text indexing is only available for the following formats at this time:
  • Adobe PDF (only if text-based or OCRed)

• Full text searching in DSpace occurs when a user searches via the default search box (see below), or when a user selects the "Keyword" option from the Advanced Search screen.
