X1 Search 8 will index up to 2MB of total text of any given document.
The maximum file size setting determines the total size of files that X1 will attempt to index. This is meant to capture documents that may have other elements such as formatting and images that can drive up the total size of a file. Word documents are a perfect example of file sizes being larger than immediately makes sense for the amount of text they contain.
2MB of text is a lot of text, and we've found this maximum to be more than sufficient for a typical business user's needs.
Yes, you may have documents that have more than 2MB of text, but these generally fall out of the standard business productivity use-case.
You could try splitting up your documents so they can be indexed, but this may be an onerous task depending on the size, formatting, and nature of the document.
I hope this helps explain what you are experiencing.
Thanks!
