These fatal errors are due to searches which are so broad in scope they exhaust the 128M of memory allocated to a search process:

I’m not sure I want to “fix” these errors since the fix is allocating even more memory to a search process. Doing so has downsides for the performance the rest of the board users will receive while these broad searches are running.

I’ll weigh off the pros and cons of increasing the amount of memory allocated with the hardware host and then make a decision as to how to proceed.
