I need to call the nlapiSearchGlobal(keywords) API method many times. In the Netsuite API documentation it describes the method as follows:

nlapiSearchGlobal(keywords)

Performs a global search against a single keyword or multiple keywords. This API is supported in client, user event, scheduled, portlet, and Suitelet scripts. Usage metering allowed for nlapiSearchGlobal is 10 units.

What does this mean?

For each running instance of a script, Netsuite enforces a limit on the script's usage of API functions. For example, a User Event Script is allowed 1000 total units of usage, so if you call nlapiSearchGlobal() more than 100 times your script will throw a "Usage Exceeded Error", and your script would need to restart to reset the allowance.

You can read more about this topic in the Netsuite documentation in the section "SuiteScript Governance".
