You should not think in terms of hard limit. Google's algo tend to give more power the fewer words there are. The more words you add the more you dilute that power.

Make your URLs as short as possible whilst supplying the most possible relevant information.

Take stackoverflow.com as a good example. Title of the 'article' along with an ID (for optimized database searching). Best of both worlds, and very short.

Search Engines give more points the file path part of the URL than to the query string part (behind the question mark)

I doubt search engines have a maximum length limit. But a URL should never need to be very long.
