Search Term limited in length
« on: October 17, 2008, 06:31:20 pm »
Hello,

the search term is limited to 26 chars. Is there any reason for this?
I have not found any discussion about this on this forum.
In some situations it's quite limiting. For example we try to search the GUID which is longer. (so we search the substring for now -- but  that has not to be unique)

Thanks for any idea
