   I know this is probably posted in here somewhere but I can't find it with search.

   What include file defines the default excerpt word count? I think it's like 120 characters and after I upgraded I can't remember where I found it before.\

   Much Thanks!

   Never mind, I found it in functions.php

   function wp_trim_excerpt($text) { // Fakes an excerpt if needed
   	if ( '' == $text ) {
   		$text = get_the_content('');
   		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
   		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
   		$text = strip_tags($text);
   		$excerpt_length = 95;  // <----------------------- here it is
   		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
   		if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
   			array_pop($words);
   			array_push($words, '[...]');
   			$text = implode(' ', $words);
   		}
   	}
   	return $text;
   }
