I've now done this in Emacs 27 -- in all tabulated list modes, which may
or may not be controversial.
If people feel like this is a bad change, feel free to revert. It seems
nice to me: `C-s' works more reliably in these buffers, even when bits
are shortened. But perhaps there's a bad user interaction somewhere...

In Emacs 27, the '}' command can be used to widen column widths.
