This crasher of compiz happends on using unity search function with the prase "thunder". The first tree letter are enough.

I have not tested on reproducability.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

libcairo2 version 1.12.2-1ubuntu1 required, but 1.12.2-1ubuntu2 is available
outdated debug symbol package for libstdc++6: package version 4.7.2-2ubuntu1 dbgsym version 4.6.3-1ubuntu5

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!
