Selecting Files
When selecting files to be uploaded, remember that only CSV, XML, and JSON* files are supported. File sizes are limited to 1 MB or less.
Make sure each file you upload has a unique file name.
Adding files is done one of two ways:
- Drag and drop the file from a folder or desktop into the upload box of the Uploader.
- Click and select the file or files to upload.
Each selected file is added to a queue before it is uploaded to the server.
This applies to Version 9.x.

Changing File Names
If you upload two or more files with the same file name, you will have multiple files with the same name in the same store. The main advantage to having unique file names is that the file will be stored in SearchServer with the file name being placed in an indexed field. This makes it possible to search in Store 54 for files with specific names.
