Indexing more than 3000 files isn't recommended. But if you must,
check gconf, /apps/gnome-do/preferences/Do/FilesAndFolders/FilesAndFoldersPreferences
 There should be a key called "MaximumFilesIndexed". Change that to
whatever you want.

> There is a limit of 3000 items allowed to be indexed in the File and Folders plugin.  I believe with slightly improved options when adding sources could allow for someone to target more what they want indexed and stay below this line.  For example: Currently offered is how deep you want to recurse.  It may also be a good idea to allow for such things as:
