SharePoint search limitation

Hi
Somebody has e-mailed me regarding a 16k limitation in the SharePoint search
facility.Unfortunately, that person is off sick so I cannot find out more
about this. The question therefore is: What limitation (if any) is there
within SharePoint or more probably within the indexing server with regard to
search. Does it for example only search the first 16k of a document or is
this e-mail totally ill informed.
