Description

I see no reason why hl.maxAnalyzedChars should have different defaults per highlighter implementation. The default is typically 51,200 but for the UnifiedHighlighter and PostingsHighlighter it's 10,000. This could easily lead to an unexpected lack of highlights that you expect to see when trying the UH.
