Hi i get the following error with webinator+ 5.1.88

100 /search:6232: State query string exceeds limit of 512 bytes: truncated at value 0 of variable $psq

What are the implications? Searches seem to work correctly.

NB.: it also exists with older versions but the line number is different

One or more links on the page where that message occurs have their query info truncated so clicking on them may not pass everything that's needed to know about the query.

That happens when too many or to large variables are passed in the url.

this is the (test)search page.

512 strikes me as very short, especially for parametric queries.

It's arbitrary, but some older browsers cannot handle longer URLs. It can be changed with <vxcp maxurllen $length>; see http://www.thunderstone.com/site/vortexman/vxcp.html
