Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-1013:
----------------------------------------------

The problem is that if we use a Text widget, we will lose the history (ie, the 
list of previous filters)...

Now, I would rather question the usage of a filter like this one : even from a 
LDAP server POV, such a filter is really a bad thing to do. It put some stress 
on the server search engine, which will be a prejudice on all the other users, 
when a selection that large should instead been done on the client side. You 
have to realize that the server will have to search for potentially thousands 
of entries, and apply a filter on each of them, just to retrieve the ones you 
want.

> Filter Editor for search has a fixed limit

> When writing a very long filter in the filter editor for doing a search it 
> cuts the filter abruptly and when trying to save the error "malformatted 
> filter" appears. (we paste a very logn list of samaccountname=xxxx yyyyy 
> there)
> It would be good if the filter had no limit or had a limit that was possible 
> to set in the settings.
