Actually, in the values above, max_doc_size is 4 times the value of max_head_length, not a smaller value. That makes sense, though, as the document "head" (i.e. the chunk of plain text extracted from the start of the document) would never be larger than max_doc_size. The rule of thumb is that max_doc_size should be at least as large as the largest file you want to index, and max_head_length is somewhere between 0 and max_doc_size, depending on how important it is to you to make sure an excerpt containing the search word can be displayed (vs. how much disk space you're willing to use up to accomplish that). -- Gilles R.
