It looks similar to this post, but it's not Sitecore Azure Search - Invalid field name

In Azure Paas, Sitecore control panel, I am trying to index my custom search index 'generic_search_master' and resulted to the exception below.

enter image description here

I have made sure that:

  1. All the SOLR configurations are disabled
  2. All the Lucene configurations are disabled
  3. I have a valid Azure Search configurations and the AS search service is running.
  4. Upon first index, I were able to create the index in the Azure Search(AS)

enter image description here

Here's the detailed exception:

</configuration>

Somewhere in the error logs, it says it's a 400 - bad request:

{"key":"be738a7bf350b3bc7fbb7ae7d2f9b5ab","status":false,"errorMessage":"Field 'content__' contains a term that is too large to process. The max length for UTF-8 encoded terms is 32766 bytes. The most likely cause of this error is that filtering, sorting, and/or faceting are enabled on this field, which causes the entire field value to be indexed as a single term. Please avoid the use of these options for large fields.","statusCode":400},

..but i don't have such field with 'content_' in it.

Note that this is only happening in Azure, as I've required to replace my Solr configurations with Azure search configurations.

Your index is referencing the "contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultCloudIndexConfiguration" for configuration. This is defined in Sitecore.ContentSearch.Azure.DefaultIndexConfiguration in the Sitecore content search configs. Check this default configuration and you should see some field definition as below based on your version of sitecore.

<field fieldName="somefield"             cloudFieldName="somecloudfieldname"          searchable="YES"  retrievable="NO"   facetable="YES"  filterable="YES"  sortable="YES"  boost="1f" type="System.String"   settingType="Sitecore.ContentSearch.Azure.CloudSearchFieldConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.Azure" />

Check for your content__ field in there and probably you have these facetable,filterable,sortable set to YES for this field. Check with Sitecore whether it can be turned off and turn it off and reindex. You may have to delete the Azure index and do indexing for the updates to take place.
