I get the following error in my indexing job: “Autostop instance vector too long”. What does it mean?
The default size for the word instance vector is 4 MB, and for zones, 16 MB. The instance vector cross-references the word with its originating document. It can become full when the word or zone has appeared so many times in the collection that it causes the vector to be cleared, though leaving the word in the index. The error message prevents several things from happening. First, if the existing entries were left but no new entries added, you would get hits on the existing documents, but not on any new documents, creating incomplete results lists. Second, if all entries and the word were removed, a phrase search for that word would fail and erroneously return zero hits. Therefore, the vector is cleared and the word remains searchable. When the vector is cleared and you do a phrase search containing that particular word, that word becomes a wild card for the phrase. For example, suppose the word “the” is auto-stopped and the vector instance cleared. A search for “Look at the car” would
