The length of the document name is limited to 128 characters due to URL path restrictions. The Microsoft® SharePoint 2016 and 2019 documentation recommends the following actions to resolve or mitigate URL length problems:
Use shorter names for sites, folders, and documents, and control the depth of the site and folder structures to reduce the length of URLs.
If possible or allowed, use ASCII names for sites, folders, and documents. This prevents URLs from being lengthened due to encoding.
The search function is supported only for the latest version of a document in Microsoft® SharePoint 2016 and 2019.
