XF 2.2 200-character search limit? I get "Please enter a value using 200 characters or fewer" on my forum but not on Xenforo (here).

I'm using Xon's "Search Improvements 2.10.3" and "[OzzModz] Google Search 2.0.0". When I search for the long string I get:

Oops! We ran into some problems.
Please enter a value using 200 characters or fewer.

I can't find any option in the ACP for this 200-character limit, and when I search the same string on the Xenforo forums I don't get that error. So I figured it must be an addon. All the addons I'm using: https://gist.github.com/MaximilianKohler/3bdedd0185283ac30c1f1422f9626947#addons-1

After disabling Xon's "Search Improvements 2.10.3" it would allow me to search for longer text without giving that error, but still wouldn't show the results unless I shortened it.

After disabling "[OzzModz] Google Search 2.0.0" the Please enter a value using 200 characters or fewer. error message returned.
OzzModz's Google search gives 0 results either way.

The only result I found was this bug fix thread "Please enter a value using 200 characters or fewer." error on rejected registration | https://xenforo.com/community/threads/please-enter-a-value-using-200-characters-or-fewer-error-on-rejected-registration.191321/

/admin.php?options/groups/searchOptions/ has a Maximum number of search/find new results value of 200, so I tried changing that but it didn't make a difference.

It's likely a hard coded limit.

The same error happens here:

Interesting. When I tried here before it wasn't giving me that, but I just tried again and it did give the same error message. Then I went to https://xenforo.com/community/ and searched it again and it didn't happen. It seems to only occur inconsistently.

 

[MaximilianKohler]

Should this thread be moved to bugs then, since it's a bug that it doesn't display the "200 character limit" consistently?

Only time (for me) in my tries using your long title that I did not get that warning was when I clicked on Search titles only... but I only tried it about 25 times.

To clarify:
It's a problem if it says "no results found" since someone would give up on the search in that case. Whereas, if it's accurately informing us that we simply need to reduce the character count, then we can do that and find our results.
