I can reproduce this bug in nautilus 3.14 in Debian stable 8.4.

This issue also causes high CPU usage, thus high CPU temperature. The 
workaround is to kill the process.

Every boot, tracker-store starts and eats up a ton of CPU time. Also 
typing a search string in nautilus causes it to hang and tracker-store 
to use a lot of CPU.

top output while tracker-store is in use:
USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES       SHR S  %CPU %MEM   TIME+ COMMAND
xxxxx    20   0  335292  11276   9208 R  99,4   0,3        0:11.72 
tracker-store

HOW TO REPRODUCE:
Open nautilus and type any string to launch the search feature. Nautilus 
should hang and tracker-store should begin to use a lot of CPU.

Regards,

Josh
