v1/search/filename: pattern string is limited to 12000 characters

[ubacher]

Code Select Expand

IMWS.get('v1/search/filename', {
                        scope: 'database',
                        pattern: searchString,
                        fields: 'id,filename,name',
                        advancedmode: false

When the searchString is longer than approx 12000 characters this returns a "malformed string" error.

I assume this is an undocumented limitation.

This is a GET request. Browsers and web servers impose a limit on the maximum length of the query string they process.
I doubt that many users need to search for a text string that has 12KB in length.
