You can set the search preferences to not index anything - that should help.

From the search window:
  Search > Preferences > Indexing
then uncheck 'index my home directory' and add folder path / to the list of
resources to exlude from indexing.

It's a shame this bug isn't getting any attention. Running the CPU flat out
leads to overheating and crashes on my laptop, causing data loss and
potentially hardware damage.
