I suggest you ...

Can you make the search query field longer?

I use the Search Query in a typical Twitter/TweetDeck way. i.e. A typical query like..
abc OR def AND ghi -mno -pqr -stu ect.

In some of my searches, I need the search query field considerably longer. I need to be able to filter my results with numerous "minus" words.

Can the query field be made twice if not three times as long as it is now?

    While we need to be mindful of users with different screen resolutions, we’ll also consider possible expansion of the search field.

        Thanks Michael!
        I should have made that more clear!

        I wonder what the max Twitter query length is...

        Hi Chris,

        It's not so much to do with the visible width of the field, but more about the maximum characters allowed in the field - it's currently only 100 characters, but like the above user, I also have a few search queries that are over 200 characters (and growing!)
