Details

Description:
Element in Arch will crash while rebuilding the message search index. Disabling the search index prevents the crashing, but that disables the search functionality for encrypted chats.

Additional info:
* Element 1.11.17-1
* Upstream Bug: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/20926

Steps to reproduce:
1. Log into Element.
2. Go to Settings -> Security & Privacy and click Manage under Message Search
3. If message index is not currently rebuilding, disable and then re-enable to trigger a rebuild.
4. Wait for crash

Same here as well. We have multiple arch devices in our organization that have been suffering from this issue. Even with "taskset -c 0" workaround, it will take the indexing an extended amount of time to complete. On one of my devices, it took almost 20 hours to complete.
