search_server kills VM because of too much memory usage
Investigating the backend crashes leads us to erlide_search_server, that tries to allocate a lot of memory and the VM goes over 2G and crashes.
- Why is it holding to that much state? What information does it actually hold?
- Does the state point to completely unused data that could be released?
- workaround: We can monitor the process and when it begins to get to get too large, we kill and restart it. Do we need to let it know about the open editors?

*Alternative solution*: see if we can start the backends with core dumps enabled

The cause of the crashes is that the erlide_search_server process can't allocate memory and it kills the whole VM
changing the ticket's goal to solving this issue instead.
