Response String Inspection Limits

Hi everyone. Does anyone out there know how deep into an HTTP response the HTTP monitor will go to look for a particular receive string? I have a documents-based web service that I am posting to through an http monitor. I'm looking for a company name to be returned to verify that the service is up and running, which start at character 6170 in a 9857 character response. Everything before the company name is SOAP related xml namespace data.

 

 

Running the monitor, I get a 200 status code but the monitor still fails the nodes in the pool presumably because the data I'm looking for is too deep into the response. As a test I changed the monitor to look for "soapenv:Envelope", which allows the test to work but since every soap response contains a "SOAP-ENVELOPE" including SOAP Faults, this won't really work for me.
