Yes, the arguments to the search method are now an RBSourceSearch
object, the previous search string, and the new search string.

The crash you're seeing has been reported here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613658 although I've
implemented the search method in a plugin I'm working on and it
doesn't crash there.

Override do_impl_get_search_actions in your source class. If you don't
want to present any search options, you should be able to return an
empty list there.
