There is no character limit but Dillo matches the first search entry that starts with the prefix. So "wi" will match both "wi" and "wien". The first match is used.
One option is to use prefixes that are not substrings of other prefixes (like wes and wen).
I think it makes sense to change the behavior to match only the complete prefix, as the user can write the shortened version manually. So that "wi" won't match "wien", but only "wi".
I uploaded the patch here:

Let me know if that works for your. Hi, apologies for the delay and thanks for the clarification. The patch works as expected! I tested with more than 20 search engines and everything behaves correctly. Thank you very much!
Luckily, I started learning more about using git last weekend, so learning to change branch to compile was like a good exercise :) Best regards
