[gnome-software/wip/ubuntu-3-20: 3/47] Limit search entry to 100 characters.

[Robert Ancell <rancell src gnome org>]

commit ca9b74dc9cfc35dc7ab8c3a9f455b66e82f812d3
Author: Robert Ancell <robert ancell canonical com>

    Limit search entry to 100 characters.
    
    The search entry can be linked to a remote server - by limiting the number of
    characters this stops accidental input (e.g. cat sitting on keyboard) from
    generating continuous searches.
