Both of my suggestions for how to fix this need to be completed in
Unity.  We could put the string length limitation in hud-service but to
do so would be bad because the user interface would still allow longer
strings to be entered -- we would simply ignore them.  The limitation
needs to be in the UI.

The other part of fixing this -- which is not submitting a query while
one is still active -- definitely can only be done in the front-end.
