SYMPTOMS
When you copy an exclusion list that is too long into the Usage Import Crawler list, the following error message occurs:
Spider list is too long. Please enter a shorter list
If you shorten the entries in the list by about half, the error message will not occur anymore; however, if close Usage Import and start it again, the entries that were just entered do not appear, and only the default entries, which were inserted after the installation, are visible.
