 * Hello,
 * I want to use the plugin String locator but every time I start a search I am 
   getting the following error:
 *     ```
       Warnung
       Die Speichergrenze wird bald überschritten, bevor die Suche gestartet wurde, dies könnte ein Anzeichen für eine baldige Fehlfunktion deiner Website sein. Das bedeutet leider, dass dieses Plugin nicht in der Lage ist, eine Suche durchzuführen. Aktueller Speicherverbrauch: 48490496 von 1 Bytes
       ```
   
 * The wp_memory_limit is set to 512M – why does the plugin think that it has just
   1 byte??

 * Hiya,
 * Would you be able to check the exact memory limit as shown in the PHP config?
   I’m wondering if it’s a case of what capitalization is used.
 * If you’ve not got easy access, you could check it using the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/).

 * I have set the memory limit to 512M in the wp-config.php manually.
 * In the PHP-info tab of the health check plugin “memory_limit” is set to -1. (
   Think here is the problem)
    wp_memory_limit and memory_limit seems to be not 
   the same.
 * Do you know where I can change the value of “memory_limit”?

 * How are you setting these values your self? I’m wondering if that’s where the
   problem arises (the plugin should account for `-1` as unlimited already).

 * Hello, I got the same issue, when I try a research with string locator got the
   message
    ” Avertissement La limite de mémoire est sur le point d’être atteinte
   avant que la recherche puisse commencer, malheureusement, cela signifie que l’extension
   est incapable d’effectuer toutes les recherches. Consommation de mémoire actuelle:
   35907584 sur 1 d’octets. ” When I use the plugin Health Check, in PHP info, I
   got the value memory_limit -1 -1
 * I’ve tried adding
    ” define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’); ” in wp-config.php without
   effect
