Public bug reported:

I have a maildir for my mail. My computer's name is "nightingale", and
this name is in the filenames in the maildir. I have a lot of email!

When I search for "tilix" to start a terminal after logging in, Nautilus
goes crazy consuming CPU. This is because I have to type "ti" to type
"tilix" and "ti" is a substring of "nightingale". This is submitted as a
search string to the nautilus search provider and apparently isn't
cancelled when I close the entry - I checked the GError and it's NULL.

A similar thing happens with the ctrl-f search in nautilus itself.

We talked about this on IRC and I provided some traces and stuff.
Linking to the log to avoid having to fetch those out into files. :-)
