UI freezes during search

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

`catfish`'s UI freezes during searches which is not a convenient behaviour for any UI. The search should be cancelable (if the process can't be canceled, it's execution should be moved into a background task and finished while the user is informed about it).

This is still an issue in 17.10.

Rolling installation is not the best, and can be the worst if the system is not strictly cleaned: package purged not only removed, orphan uninstalled...

So use 'gtkorphan' & 'bleachbit' (as root, carrefully), or better do a fresh install.

Note: no one else have confirmed your issue, meaning a local problem.
