 Replying to [comment:1 Otto42]:

 I suspect this to be a limit in the underlying search engine.

 After a lot of digging around, I found the culprit - WordPress.

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/25632/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/query.php r25632] added an upper bound of 1600 characters for
 search requests, just ignoring it after that.

 The plugin directory actually limits it to 200char for searching purposes,
 but it's discarded by core prior to that point.
