 * hello,
 * thanks for plugin.
 * when i try to search for a word it gives error
 * “The memory limit is about to be exceeded before the search has started, this
   could be an early indicator that your site may soon struggle as well, unfortunately
   this means the plugin is unable to perform any searches. Current memory consumption:
   17033216 of 1 bytes”
 * how can i correct this?

 * ok solved it. increased php memory limit. i think -1 definition is not understood
   by plugin. so i gave a positive value.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for following up here, you are quite right that it doesn’t read a negative
   value as an indefinite amount, I’ll make sure it accounts for this in the next
   version!

 * This error is due to the memory limit. As you told you have increased the memory
   and it resolved the issue. I myself had an issue with this and were getting “
   atal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted”. I also increased
   the WP memory to 256 mb and now its working fine.

 * What should it be? I’ve changed all values on wp-config and directly in godaddy
   back-end and I’m still getting the memory error.

   topic if you are having issues, this one is more than half a year old, and there
   have been multiple releases in that time 🙂
