Yes, it works in vb4 also. I saved this blurb from another thread about it:

I believe you want to find these lines in includes/class_bbcode.php in the function handle_bbcode_url
PHP Code:
if (vbstrlen($tmp) > 55 AND $this->is_wysiwyg() == false)
{
$text = htmlspecialchars_uni(vbchop($tmp, 36) . '...' . substr($tmp, -14));
}
Line 2091-2095 in v4.0.3.

55 = number of characters before it's stripped
36 = number of characters before the (...)
14 = number of characters after the (...)
