Just recently I noticed limitation for search commands. For excample "!s 123456789012" works as expected, yet "!s 1234567890123" does not offer the corresponding search (in this case a web search). It is just one more character that disables the search command options entirely. When I delete the last charactes, the search command options are available again. The command pattern is "!s" (no regex) and it resolves to "exo-open --launch WebBrowser [url=https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s]https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s"[/url]. I already tried with "%u" instead of "%s", no luck. Same happens with regex command patterns. Other commands like running an application via application binary and the "start ..." option and some additional command line arguments do not have any limits as expected. I am running Archlinux x86_64 and whiskermenu version 1.5.1 (package version 2, which was updated on Dec. 10 2015 with german language settings. Before this update whiskermenu worked as expected with no noticeable limit.
Fixed in dde745f.
