Search - Server ran out of memory

Question

Sign in to vote
In the crawl log I see some

1)
"Processing this item failed because the parser server ran out of memory. ( Error parsing document.....) - Document failed to be processed. It probably crashed the server.; Item truncated"

It's PowerPoint presentations that is > 117MB - how can I fix this error?

2) when Cont. Crawl is enabled on several content sources - and a full crawl is scheduled - shouldn't SharePoint start/switch between these automatically?

I ended up adding a rule to not crawl these items. Reading up on this, I can unzip with Windows native.

New-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlRule -SearchApplication $SEARCHAPP -Path "*://*.zip*" -CrawlAsHttp 1 -Type ExclusionRule

According to the error message, it can be caused by the document cannot be parsed.

Which is the extension of the document?

For your issue, you can try to implement a custom iFilter for this extension in SharePoint 2013:
