Make search range sufficiently large to enable artists prepend SVGs with licencing information

Many users affected including me.
Though one can easily edit SVGs to make it work, this isn't intutive.

Links I followed to get to the root cause-

Or rather both the matches should have their offset fields rectified

Any chance to have this fixed?
The workaround for this would be to have all existing SVGs with licence info in the beginning of the file modified to move the info below the file's <svg> tag.

A consensus among the standard and artists would be very welcoming.
