Minimum Character Threshold #105

Open tpeacock19 opened 2 years ago

tpeacock19 commented 2 years ago

When in a large buffer or a buffer with long lines, like a log file, I find that I'm unable to use ctrlf efficiently. Any of the regexp commands freeze my emacs, and the literal search is very slow. Would it be possible or practical to add a minimum character count? I think it would be useful to kick in maybe based on buffer line size/length.

thanks!

Rather than a minimum character count, it might be better to have a maximum match count. However, I agree with the need for a feature like this.
