Bug description

Hi, every time i do a (personal number) Content Search with Nemo in Home directory or Docs (no other apps runing) the RAM starts to fill up to maximum till PC stops responding. (it also happened in previsious versions LM & LMDE - than i used recoll wich i dont prefer) ! (in the screen capture below i closed Cinnamon before it locked my pc) Captură de ecran din 2024-10-19 03-29-40

Steps to reproduce

simply do a Content Search with Nemo in Home directory - too much files maybe ? :)

Expected behavior

--

Additional information

maybe an Optional file indexer AddOn / Nemo (like tracker/baloo) - would be better for someone managing lots of docs/files. Thank u all LM Team ! Captură de ecran din 2024-10-19 04-42-20

Can you try running:

NEMO_DEBUG=Search nemo --debug

and try to see if it ends up in any unexpected locations.

There are checks to try and keep the search from getting redirected into places like /dev, /proc, etc... but this is what it sounds like may be happening.

Tried to reproduce this with a content search for 'abc' in my home directory. Took 4m 30secs - over about 60,000 files, with other apps running without any problems.
