This can be temporarily fixed by deleting ITEMFDR.DAT from your character folder, but it has the side effect of also meaning /isearch won't be able to find anything, until you open all of your inventories (saddlebag, retainers, etc.), and forcing an update of that file. It's an indexing file that tracks the locations of your inventory items so /isearch works, and updates any time you move an item. If you delete it, the game will generate a new blank copy of the file when you login.

The problem with the glamour dresser is that opening and closing it also forces an update to the ITEMFDR.DAT file, and seems to be corrupting it if you have too many items stored in it. I took a look at the file in a text editor, and it's generally unreadable gibberish, but viewing it after opening and closing the glamour dresser looked like a much more disorderly sort of gibberish.

If you absolutely need to use /isearch for something, deleting the ITEMFDR.DAT file will let it work again, and then you need to open each retainer and storage location [b]except[/i] for the glamour dresser. Opening and closing the dresser will update the file in a way that causes the search function to crash the game.
I just attempted this myself, opening everything including the glamour dresser still allowed me to /isearch. then i realized i had not opened the chocobo saddlebag. after i opened the saddlebag then the game started to crash.
i tested this in reverse, logging in and only opening my saddlebag (i could then search for an item) and then opening the glamour dresser (crashed searching for an item)

so data from the saddlebag or the glamour dresser may be corrupting data from the other inventory. i wonder if the affected people are those who have 2 saddlebag tabs and have a large amount of items in both it and the glamour dresser.
