Hi , I've seen an old post of similar question [Query string length limit](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/query-string-length-limit/16972)  
and the answer "max\_clause\_count" seems to belong to DSL ?  
But what I concern is the exact character count in query.query\_string.query

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": "(new york city) OR (big apple)",
      "default_field": "content"
    }
  }
}

```

Is there any setting on this ? Thanks.
