Hello,

A small question: i found in the src that a term has a limitation of 245
characters (#define MAX_SAFE_TERM_LENGTH 245). Do you plan to change
this limitation in the future versions?

If not, how can i manage very big terms? For example, we store the
"paths" of your objects in the database. These paths can be very long:
"I/affaires-generales/ressources-humaines/formation/Concours/Acces-au-grade-de-technicien-superieur-principal-de-l'industrie-et-des-mines/Acces-au-grade-de-technicien-superieur-principal-de-l'industrie-et-des-mines/concours-TSPIM-septembre-2007.pdf"
And this is very pratical for us to index it.

By advance, thank you for your answer,

Best regards,
David V.
