Bug Description

gnome-contacts-search-provider seems to be crashing if you start typing a search term in gnome-shell Activity pane and you do not wait long enough for the gnome-contacts-search-provider search to complete.

To reproduce:

1. Have a number of contacts in gnome-contacts (I have all my Google contacts)
2. Activate the Activity panel
3. Start typing, then hit escape before any contacts appear
4. gnome-contacts-search-provider crashes

I think the same thing happens if you change the search, rather than simply cancelling it.
