# TermSize Parameter

The `TermSize` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the IDOL Content component configuration file allows you to specify the maximum number of characters that any term in the Content data index can contain. The default value is 20.

For certain languages, this default term size might be too low. In this case, you can increase the value of the `TermSize` parameter.

NOTE: You cannot apply the `TermSize` parameter individually to a language.

The table below shows the `TermSize` value that Micro Focus recommends for the specified languages. If you have content in more than one language, use the larger value.

Chinese | 30
Hebrew | 30
