In a default installation, the maximum number of results returned for a full-text search is 250. To increase the maximum number of results returned you must edit the web.config file of the OnBase Application Server.

To edit the web.config file:

  1. Locate the web.config file of the OnBase Application Server. In a default installation, this is located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AppServer
  2. Open the web.config file in a plain-text editor, such as Notepad.
    Note:

    The *.config file should only be edited in a plain-text editor, such as Notepad, or a utility specifically designed to edit XML files. It should not be edited in a binary editor, such as Microsoft Word. Using a binary editor can introduce invalid characters to the file and make it unreadable by the software.

  3. Locate the fullTextServerMaxResults key under the appSettings element. If this key is not available, you must add it as a child of the appSettings element:
    <add key="fullTextServerMaxResults" value="500" />
  4. Change the value of the value attribute to a whole number that is the maximum number of results to return.
    Note:

    Setting this number too high may decrease system performance. Any positive value can be used, though the default value of 250 is used. Additionally, the client may return fewer than the maximum configured results to the user due to security and metadata filtering.

  5. Locate the trace-profile log element:
    <Log name="trace-profile" enableMailSlot="true" />
  6. Make sure the value of the enableMailSlot attribute is true.
  7. Save and close the web.config file.
  8. Refresh the cache of the Application Server for this change to take affect.
