It's not crashing per-se, it's just chugging through a HUGE list of results; the special characters need to be handled better by appstream-glib. I'll work on this on Monday.

I found some time to fix this just now: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/commit/a7941d71cc5835853ed952d2f12360e11928afb9
