Needs to be a config setting, but not entirely this simple.  In HEAD,  
if the addressbook contains less than 200 entries, this entire address  
book is sent to the browser and the browser does the search entirely  
within browser-space.  In this situation, there should be no  
limitation on the number of characters so the config text needs to  
make this clear.
