When a search stops because it ran out of time, a notice now appears at the top of its results. This happens whether the search was listing matching lines, counting matches, or listing matching files.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude no longer treats a cut-off search as if it found everything. That makes it less likely to conclude something is missing when the search simply did not finish.\n\n- Area: Search\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
