Does it mean that 128 MSB bits in search interval must be fixed?
If yes then what for is it worth?

EDIT:

I tried to put in config file 256 bit range and program was not complaining even shoved range as 2^256

what this limit means exactly??

CORRECTION: it is written in Readme file 125bit (not 128 as I wrote previously) so even more confusing.....

Yea, it is limited to search 125 bit.

This person attempted to make it search 256 bit but it needs a little more work to it. https://github.com/ZenulAbidin/Kangaroo-256

I'll probably end up reverting the hashtable code and just extend all the 128-bit structs to 256-bit which will give us 254 bits of useable searching (the two bits at the right/end are reserved for other functions, in JLP kangaroo and also my kangaroo.
