    Log Message:
    boolsrch: reflow textsrch.msg for 40-col + use @SearchStringPrompt@

    Inject Ctrl-A\ at each column boundary so the existing 80-col layout is preserved byte-for-byte while < 80-col terminals get clean line-breaks
    at the LongLineContinuationPrefix (text.dat #807) instead of mid-word auto-wrap. All visible lines now fit in 40 cols with no last-column
    wrap risk.

    While here, replace the literal "Text to search for:" with the @SearchStringPrompt@ @-code so the help text follows any future
    re-titling of the prompt automatically, and center the title with
    @CENTER@ so it adapts to the user's terminal width.

    Issue: #1139

    Log Message:
    textsrch.msg: align the columns of the syntax and example tables

    The description column of the boolean-syntax table started at column 23
    on two rows, 24 on three and 25 on one (the widest key, "phrase with
    space", is 19 characters and had only one space after it), and the
    AND/OR/NOT column drifted the same way. In the examples table the
    PCBoard row's description was one column left of the others.

    Keys now pad to a fixed width (two spaces past the widest key in each
    table) so every description starts at the same column; the keyword
    column likewise. Widest rendered line is 77 columns, and every
    ^A\-delimited segment still fits in 40 columns.
