Search box length

Any chance the number of characters allowed to be entered into the search box can be increased? Is there a valid reason to limit it?

I frequently use pipes in my search field to help narrow the list to only premades I'm interested in. Right now, my search box is: "lich | moon | msv" to search for icc raids on lich king, moonfang (or darkmoon rabbit), and msv mount runs. But now, with 2.0, everyone from Silvermoon and Moon Guard realms show up forcing me to search only for "lich | darkmoon" because | msv won't fit.

I think the limit is 40 characters, no? need more?

I'm unable to completely type the alphabet. It stops at 20 characters. 40 would be nice, but with realm search parameters being added, it may be necessary to increase it to 100. With merged realms, for example, if I only wanted to search for premades only in my own group of servers, typing "Cho'gall | Laughing Skull | Auchindoun" knocks out 38 characters already leaving no room to add more.

from the change.log in 2.0.1a

UPD: changed spyglass filter from 20 characters max to 80 (really thought i changed that before, sorry Nikolaj)

Perfect! Thank you for the work you do.
