And the limit is hardcoded or is there a default? need to take a look at the 
source...

OK, not a bug ;) 
However, when I enter the login name in the calendar search field, then ogo 
does find too many search results, and does "nothing", the same view on the 
calendar as before the search stays. A noteice in the webui, some red line 
of text, saying "found to many users that matched your search query" or sth. 
like this to give the user a hint about what happened, and that he shall try 
again. so that he does not call "IT" and says OGo is broken ;)
