Hello @zecbfernandes!

Thanks for your interest in Zulip! You have attempted to claim an issue without the label "help wanted". You can only claim and submit pull requests for issues with the help wanted label.

If this is your first time here, we recommend reading our guide for new contributors before getting started.

I would like to personally fix this issue so if you could assign it to me I would appreciate it!

I just reproduced this Bug both on the main site and on the latest Zulip version that I forked, following the same steps:

1. click on the search bar
2. type a string with over 130 characters

It gave me this result:

Side note: I copied the string and counted with a simple code that gave me the desired string length.

a good expected output is less than 50 characters with 3 dots in the end (like this...) also for the "You searched for:" to not go on top of the result.

I can help with this, if you just add help-wanted.

Sure, assigning to you, @ilyesskhayati -- thanks!

Hi @ilyesskhayati, I just noticed your message! I wanted to bring to your attention that I've already made a commit addressing this issue that fixed the bug, but I didn't create the pull request as I wasn't assigned to it. Please take a look at my commits above, where I solved this issue. If you proceed with the pull request, could you please reference my commit? Also, I believe in my second commit, I inadvertently removed the tests I created for my fix so you might have to implement them again. Good luck with the pull request!

@zecbfernandes For what it's worth, you can create a pull request without being assigned to an issue. The point of assigning issues is to coordinate work better; it should never prevent us from using work that's been done.

Hello, sorry for the late reply, I was finishing up my Finals exams.

I think I will not work on it now, as I still have some things to do, so yeah!

@alya I did not know that, thanks for clearing that up! I will be submitting a pull request with my fix for the issue soon.
