Tweak the refCache in the backend search so it will not use too much RAM #34

The site went down earlier today because the server ran out of RAM. Pretty sure this is because so many people were searching for things that the refCache in common/search.js got so large that it used all the RAM on the server and crashed.

Lets tweak it so it dosen't do that.
