Sitecore uses the QueryStringCache cache when it parses query strings. In most sitations, the default size of this cache (100KB) is large enough, but if you see in your log files that this cache is cleared a lot, you can set a different size for the cache. Frequent clearing of the cache can be caused by having very long query strings, or having a lot of query strings.

To set the size of this cache:

- Create a patch file and set the size you need for the cache:

    ```xml
    <configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" xmlns:set="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/set/">
        <sitecore>
            <settings>
                  <setting name="Caching.TinyCacheSize" set:value="1000KB"/>
            </settings>
        </sitecore>
    </configuration>
    ```

> [!note]
> The size is set with the `TinyCacheSize` setting. Other Sitecore caches use the same setting.
