Description

Basically #1155 but for the search part of RAM Search. I'm thinking disable the button when there are >=65536 addresses—it's not like this removes functionality for those with powerful machines, the manual search button will still be available.

Research direction

Start by locating the RAM Search auto-search and manual search controls. Confirm how the address count is obtained, then verify that auto-search is unavailable at 65,536 or more addresses while manual search remains available; the issue provides no specific file or test to run.
