SYMPTOMS

When you perform a Site Server search, no abstract is displayed when you view the search results.

CAUSE

Files that are larger than the Maxbytesperfile key that is specified for a Site Server 3.0 catalog do not return an abstract.

RESOLUTION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Modify the Maxbytesperfile registry key for your Site Server catalog to be greater than any of the individual files that are searched. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type Regedit to start the Registry Editor.
  2. Open the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SiteServer\3.0\Search\Indexer\catalogname

  3. Click the catalog name.
  4. On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.
  5. In the Value box, type the indexing limit in bytes (for example, 400000). Click OK.
  6. Stop and restart the Site Server Gatherer service.
  7. Start a full build on your search catalog.

MORE INFORMATION

The Maxbytesperfile key is located under the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SiteServer\3.0\Search\Indexer\catalogname

By default, the value is 307200 bytes (decimal) or 4b000 (hexadecimal).
