Cannot update maximumPageLength or pageOverlapLength in #Microsoft.Skills.Text.SplitSkill

Question

I used a new feature Import and vectorize data in a Search service to create an indexer, a skillset and the indexer all together. After that, I tried to modify the maximumPageLength and pageOverlapLength variables of SplitSkill defined in a skillset, but those changes does not affect the text split results seen in the index after resetting and running the indexer. I see that changing the inputs variable in SplitSkill changes the index so this problem seems to apply specifically to maximumPageLength and pageOverlapLength variables. How can I solve this problem, or is this a bug?

Answer 1

@Fumika Isono Just a heads up that the maximumPageLength and pageOverlapLength variables are immutable, which means that they cannot be updated once the skillset has been created. Therefore, any changes you make to these variables will not affect the text split results seen in the index.

If you want to change the maximumPageLength and pageOverlapLength variables, you will need to create a new skillset with the updated values and use that skillset to create a new indexer.
