Bug description:
  [Impact]
  An input error (e.g. a key being continuously pressed) in the gnome-software search field can lead to continuous searches being sent via snapd. This is beuause there is no limit in this search field.

  [Test Case]
  1. Open GNOME Software
  2. Click search button
  3. Continuously press and release 't'

  Expected result:
  Searches stop after a the search field hits the character limit.

  Observed result:
  Searches are continuously generated for each key press (there is no limit). 

  NOTE: Searches are shown in syslog (snapd debug message).

  [Regression potential]
  Low. The field is now limited to 100 characters and searches stop after this limit.
