They were looking at 16 variables, degree of about 10 in each one. That search space is simply too big for a plain bruteforce. So they did some sort of filtering to reduce the search space to a pool containing "possible counterexamples". There was also a paper giving a lower bound of about 100 for possible counterexamples in that particular framework. Later raised to 108 in https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.14178 I don't remember the details very well since this was back in 2015 and wasn't really involved in the research. Consider this to be some sort of telephone game between what I heard in 2015…
