[pmwiki-users] How much data can a wiki page take? (Was: Bibliographies)

[Bernd Wiemann]

Hallo Patrick,

is there a possibility to prevent the pageindex-file to index the whole
page? Something like $pageindex=20000 or action?=search.summary?

My wiki on localhost has about 3000 pages of articles and stories.
60 Mbyte Data + 10 MByte for the pageindex.

Because running out of time when searching (the first time, but
localhost has to many first times...) let me think about saving
hugh pages as internal pdf's

Thanks.
Bernd
