Splunk Search

Error in 'IndexScopedSearch': The search failed

We're trying to run a search but are getting these errors while doing so:

3 errors occurred while the search was executing. Therefore, search results might be incomplete.
  • [indexer1] Error in 'IndexScopedSearch': The search failed. More than 1000000 events found at time 1624492800.
  • [indexer2] Error in 'IndexScopedSearch': The search failed. More than 1000000 events found at time 1624510800.
  • [indexer3] Events might not be returned in sub-second order due to search memory limits. See search.log for more information. Increase the value of the following limits.conf setting:[search]:max_rawsize_perchunk.

We've increased our max_rawsize_perchunk limit on the indexers but are still seeing these errors. We're running Splunk Enterprise 8.0.0

How would we make this error go away? TIA!
