I'm working on a project for a client and I'm having trouble using the search. The gateway is located remotely and being accessed via a VPN. I'm not familiar with the projects so I'm trying to search for where a script method is called, but the search returns no results. "Search processed in 0 ms" is logged in the gateway logs and an error is (sometimes several errors are) displayed in the designer "Value x can not be coerced to float due to overflow." where x varies with each error. Any thoughts on what might be causing the error and how to get a search to complete?  
Thanks

Oy! That's a nasty bug. You should report this to support.

Ok, I just got this same issue but on a different client's machine, this time the value cannot be coerced to integer due to overflow. Don't know if it is related or not but I also got a java out of memory exception, then the designer froze eating 80% of the CPU.
