This has been mentioned a few times in the past and i think it should be revisited as I am struggling with how truncation works

See this example

• A line is truncated when it is over a certain length.
  • this should be a configurable option.
• The truncation happens on the beginning of the line
  • I read, left to right, and find this tricky to use. I would prefer the truncation to happen on the end of the line.

Proposed options

• search.resultsTruncation
  • Off (no truncation)
  • Beginning of Line
  • End of line
  • Both (the search term would be in the middle of 2 ... = good for context)
• search.allowedSizeBeforeTruncation
  • 123 ( a number of characters before truncation happens)
