Package: amule
Severity: normal

Hi!

I've found something weird when using the search function.  It seems filenames
longer than 161 are truncated to this length.

The search function itself doesn't seem to operate on the truncated part of the
filename, so any words you were using to search that are in that part of the
name will not be considered.  Also, the file extension is lost, so amule won't
be able to determine the file type.  So if the user was looking for "Videos",
and this file is a video, it won't appear either.

I'm not sure if this problem is in the uploader or downloader client, but in any
case it's an aMule bug since both sides were running aMule on my tests :)  (in
fact, both sides were the same one).

I think one should expect at least 255 char filenames to be supported, since
this is what NTFS supports on Winblows platforms.
