Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2012-10-15 15:21:10 UTC 
Whenever I search for something in GNOME Shell's overview, then leave it, nautilus-shell-search-provider crashes after a second or so. Quite annoying.

<backtrace>
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2012-10-15 22:21:40 UTC 
I can't reproduce this here...can you please try the following:
- update Nautilus to 3.6.1 - a number of bug fixes went into search and the shell provider since 3.6.0
- launch the shell provider manually from a terminal under gdb - please use this command line: G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all NAUTILUS_SEARCH_PROVIDER_PERSIST=1 gdb /usr/libexec/nautilus-shell-search-provider
- search from the shell as you normally would

When/if the provider crashes or emits a warning, gdb will catch it and you can obtain a backtrace from there.
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2012-10-18 19:11:56 UTC 
I actually managed to reproduce this, and pushed another series of fixes to git (both master and gnome-3-6 branches) - it should work fine now.
Please reopen if you can reproduce with master or gnome-3-6 from git.
Comment 3 Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2012-10-18 19:40:22 UTC 
I actually couldn't reproduce it for some time after posting this report. But the latest git master crashed a few times with the following backtrace:

Thanks for testing again; turns out that crash you're seeing now is another unrelated issue, for which I just pushed another fix to git.
