Wow, one of the first things I did was to search for "limit" with the
assumption that it would find "limits". Thank you for letting me know
that the search is broken and that I will need to try all permutations
of a word to see if it is in the documentation.

thank you. I can watch for long lines and then put up an alert
telling them that it's there, they just cannot see it.
Also, these limits should be in the docs.
Agreed. I came across them in the old MC docs a while back, which are
normally more anemic than the Rev docs. But this is what it took me
to find them in Rev:
1. Open Documentation
2. Typed "Li"
3. Dismissed a dialog telling me that "Li" could not be found.
4. Managed to type an "m" before -
5. Dismissed a dialog telling me that "Lim" could not be found.
6. Squeezed in typing an "i" when -
7. Dismissed a dialog telling me "Limi" could not be found.
8. Typed the "ts" really fast, which brought up:
Commands and Function
Memory and Limits Reference
No sooner could I ask "What is this doing in 'Commands and
Functions'?" than I discovered that while the other limits are shown
(number of objects in a group, length of object names, etc.), and it
does mention the number of chars in a line, it doesn't mention that
this also applies to using the sort command on a variable.
Even with that minor ommission it's a good read, and if you're a quick
typist you might be able to cut the number of steps to get there down
to four or five. ;)
PS: Is there a preference to turn off the "Constantly try to search
whatever's being typed in real-time" option in favor of any more
explicit option (Enter key, "Search" button) like one finds in nearly
any other search box?
