Bug Description

When starting Nautilus I am performing a search and get no response, the app is stuck/unresponsive and the search does not work.

When i start it in debug mode i see:
```
$ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus
(nautilus:1258): Gtk-DEBUG: 13:43:03.508: Connecting to session manager

(nautilus:1258): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:43:03.573: Two different plugins tried to register 'NautilusDiscBurn'.

(nautilus:1258): Tracker-DEBUG: 13:43:23.014: Waiting for service to become available...
```

And when i kill tracker with `tracker reset -etracker reset -e` then the search suddenly works

I am not a dev but in this case I would timeout tracker for being unresponsive and just get on with the search without it.
