User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:105.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/105.0

Steps to reproduce:

TB 102.2.2 (64-Bit)
Kubuntu 22.04
16 GB RAM

I have a fairly large collection of E-Mails in local folders. Profile is 11 GB, my biggest folder in Thunderbird contains more than 20.000 messages.
When I use global search with a keyword that is very frequent (for example my own name), I would expect thousands of search results.

Actual results:

Sometimes only about 1000 results are displayed when in fact there are way more messages that would match the search term.

But sometimes the search doesn't give any results at all. Instead the rotating circle "searching" animation is displayed forever. (TB doesn't use suspicious amounts of RAM or CPU.)

In this case 3 exception errors appear in the error log:

Expected results:

When searching for a very frequent keyword in a large collection of messages, all matching results should be displayed. Or alternatively if there are technical limitations to the number of results, an error message should be displayed telling the user that there are too many results and that he should use more specific search term.

I'm not 100% certain if this is a recession in TB102 or if it hadn't worked in previous versions either.
