What's Wrong?

When using @ to search for files, it limits the total amount of directory entries that are searchable.

What Should Happen?

It shouldn't limit it, or the limit should be much higher -- I'm running into this on multiple directories.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a folder with ~1,000 files in it
2. Try to find one with @ that is towards the middle or end of the list (alphabetically, seemingly)
3. Observe that it doesn't work
