I need to use one exposed filter to search values in 100 fields. Exposed filter " Global: Combine fields filter" would do the job fine except for a strange limitation - it can only search up to 59 fields. I wonder why this limitation is in place and how to overcome it?

These hundred fields in my view are based on a double fields module (https://drupal.org/project/double_field). I also noticed couple other limitations, but they are not as important to me and they are probably specific to double field module - only the first sub-field of each double field is being searched and also those fields have to be included in a display.

In order to test and overcome 59 fields limitation I had to add two global filters - one searches 1-50 and another one 51-100 fields.

OMG, we cannot load fields with a level of over 9000!

I guess this will never be a problem for most users who will never have such large number of fields. I used Drupal to create an inventory database for scientists where each node represents a box with 100 vials. Also submission form had to visually replicate a box (10x10). Obviously they didn't want to have 100 exposed filters for each value, that is why "Global: Combine fields filter" would be perfect if I could overcome this limitation.
