KWAL was designed for literal finite keywords specified with +s option. When you added the wildcard (<font face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont" size="3">*) character to +s option, as in "*@z:se*", you created a </font><font face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont">potential</font><font face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont" size="3"> infinite number of keywords. No surprise the 35 keywords limit was easily exceeded. I have increased the keyword limit to 10000 hopefully this will be enough for what you are doing. I also hope your computer has enough memory to run this command.</font></div><div><span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont" size="3">New CLAN </font><font face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont">is</font><font face="Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont" size="3"> on the web.</font></div><div><div>
