I'm getting very inconsistent results with this.
This led me to setting first to a large value: def_search_result_truncate_cols=800 (annoyingly, the UI limits it to 100 :-( ).
Then to small values (10, 20, 30)
Restarting slick and changing foreground/background searching doesn't seem to help.
OIC -- seems to be depend on whether the file is loaded in slick or not.
Files that are loaded do not get truncated.
Files that are not loaded do not get truncated.
The setting of def_search_result_truncate_cols, doesn't seem to make any difference to the results.
BTW,
Maximum search result line length is 2000.
Maximum search results output (KB) = 10000.
