FTSearch / Index / documents eceeds limit (5000)

I am newbie with FTSearches in Domino.

So I have a database with arround 2 millions of documents. I tried to do a FTSearch on this database with the error

index of 2233786 documents exceeds limit (5000), aborting: Maximun allowable documents exceeded for a temporary full text index

This database is not indexed. From my reading I understood that if the db is not indexed a FTSearch is using a temporary index. This means that I have the limit of the currently set 5000 documents. Then if the db is indexed there is no limit on the documents. Am I right?

Then what about if I would like to do a FTSearch over several databases? How can I build a index of several databases?

For any help, tips, hints or links I am thankful

Hello Christian,

the max number of search results for domino is 65535.

You can set the default 5000 to the max by the following notes.ini parameter on the server:

FT_Max_Search_Results=65535

Hope it helps.
