Thunar hangs when searching results with many files

Version information

Thunar 4.20.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Search in directory containing a lot of subdirs and files (e.g. HOME directory)
  2. Wait for search to be completed

Current behavior

Thunar is becoming slower while searching for more data and it finally hangs (UI not responding 100% CPU core usage). I waited few minutes, finally I had to kill the process.

Expected outcome

Search is finished correctly, no process hangs.
