Searches cut short can now fail with a note that results are incomplete

In a stricter mode, a search that is cut short now fails with a message that more matches may exist, instead of returning partial results

Unclear Which of Claude's searches run in this stricter mode is not stated.

What

When Claude searches through files and the search is cut short, for example by taking too long, the partial results used to come back with no warning. In a stricter mode that some searches use, the search now fails instead. The message says the results are incomplete and that "more matches may exist", and suggests searching a more specific path or pattern.

Why

Claude is told when a search did not finish, so it does not treat a partial list of matches as the full picture and can try a narrower search.
