As a last resort, I will try to disable the execute bit as you suggested, but does that mean any new contacts/apps I add will not be searchable? If that's the case, then I can't do that because I rely on search.

Cheers,

well, i am actually one that discovered that priority, but as mentioned many times [even by ex engineers that worked on harmattan (can't find original posts now)] smartsearch is really issue and many people is suggesting this to be disabled for sake of battery.
smartsearch is only for search app as i know (when you open contacts you can search without problems and you can always scroll in launcher to find your app. (there's no 1000 apps on your phone i believe)
search app is buggy and it needs fix
also, you can use conky to see what consumes most of battery (most of idle time or something like that [bottom-left widget])
good luck and i hope it will work for you
