I would not recommend increasing character limit as it is highly likely that you will experience unintended consequences in other areas as Jonathan noted. You can display the extended description in the search window. Go into the Manager>file>configuration>options tab>item options>show extended description
As far as I know you'd need to go and edit the database. Under the dbo.Item column, you will find "Description". It is by default an nvarchar(30), you'd need to modify the column to be the size you wish (like nvarchar(80) for an 80 character limit). From there, you'd need to combine the sub description columns with the main description so the system then has one full description for all the items.
That is what needs to be done, however it could have other side-effects with other software you may be using. So make sure to have a backup (as always) and test for issues after making the change.
