URGENT - maximum query length for search view command

Problem with searchview command:

I am using the searchview command to do a search on a view and then display the results.

If i search for a word “A” my query is

http://servername/database.nsf/alldocuments?searchview&query=([Name]=A)

The above query gives results that have the word A in the field Name.

If i want to search for those documents in the above result, that have the word “B” in them…my query is

http://servername/database.nsf/alldocuments?searchview&query=(([Name]=A) and ([Name]=B))

If i continue searching for words… C,D,E, F etc…one by one… from the results that are obtained at each stage… i hit a stage when i get errors.

Could someone tell me the maximum length of the query string or URL that Domino accepts, beyond which error occurs?

This is very urgent

As noted elsewhere in these forums, the URL limit is about 1000 chars.

You can make your queries much shorter by using a more compact syntax:

([Name]=(A & B & C)

The URL limit isn’t 256 characters?
