When a search is done from a node in the project window, the search activity
indicator in the bottom right corner of the screen does not stop, even after the
search is completed.

OS: Windows Server 2003

After upgrading to NetBeans 5.5 beta, the problem is still occurring, but in
addition, I get an OutOfMemoryException dialog pop up after about 5 seconds.
Available memory should not be a problem as I have 4GB. However, it is a
relatively large project (with pre-existing ant script).

The amount of heap size available to NetBeans is not limited by amount of RAM in
your PC but by a hard limit of heap size given to the JVM on startup. The
default limit for NetBeans 5.x is 128 MB. If you get an OutOfMemoryError because
you have a large project, you need to increase this limit. See the following
FAQs for more information:
