Increase the keyword character limit.

With the large number of available mesh bodies to choose from, as well as heads, the current keyword character limit does not give us enough space to include everything that might be searchable and relevant to the item.
Increase the keyword character limit so we can include everything an item might be rigged for or systems an item might work with.
This will improve the keyword search and help creators so that there content shows up in search for relevent searches.
Example:
I have a clothing item rigged to both non-human and human avatars. However, when I try to include those brand names in the keywords for the clothing item, I run out of characters. As a result, when someone searches for that brand of body, even though my clothing item is rigged for it, it's less likely to appear in the search results. Therefore, increasing the keyword character limit would allow us to include all relevant information and improve searchability.

It would be nice if LL was taking more proactive action to prevent keyword abuse/spam before they implemented this.

RestrainedRaptor Resident I agree that spam is a problem, things like removing duplicate words and phrases from keywords or having just better general oversight of these would be nice. There are certainly a lot of things they could do to improve it. But for those of us using it as intended we can't include everything that's relevant to the item which makes it hard for customers to find our products. Which is very annoying.
