Unclear It is unclear whether the search time limit itself changed or can be set, or only how the message is worded.

What

When a file search times out, the message used to state a fixed time: 60 seconds on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and 20 seconds elsewhere. That part of the message is now generated. It still ends with "The search may have matched files but did not complete in time."

Why

The time limit shown in the message is no longer fixed.
