Splunk Search

Why is a string value being truncated in my search results?

When I enter a search for my field errorMsg. My results show:

errorMsg="Operation failed due to an unknown error". 

However, when I look at the value for some of my results, the value for errorMsg is just "Operation". I believe the problem may be due to the line being very long and breaking off into a separate line.

How would I make it so all my results display the full errorMsg?
Thanks

Is the field errorMsg auto extracted by splunk? You can enforce the extraction by configuring it in props.conf or specifying it like below in your search

| rex "(?i)errorMsg\=\W(?P.*)\W"
