Bug#833427: nautilus: Nautilus freezes when searching

[John Hughes]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.14.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Any attempt to search in Nautilus causes Nautilus to freeze completely
until the process is ended in System Monitor. It is then impossible to
start Nautilus again until any tracker-* process is also ended in System
Monitor.

Action: use Nautilus search to search for files or folders.

Outcome: Nautilus freezes until both it and tracker-related processes
are ended manually.

Expected outcome: Nautilus presents search results without crashing.
