Bug Description

Apt binary just crashes on search command

$ apt search linux
Sorting... Done
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

But apt-cache works:
$ apt-cache search linux
alsa-base - ALSA driver configuration files
alsa-topology-conf - ALSA topology configuration files
alsa-ucm-conf - ALSA Use Case Manager configuration files
alsa-utils - Utilities for configuring and using ALSA
apparmor - user-space parser utility for AppArmor
auditd - User space tools for security auditing
...
...
etc

I had same problem on clean installations.
