Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Muon on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and launch it
2. Click "Check for updates"
3. Wait for "Rebuilding Search Index" to finish
4. After some time open Muon again (without 'apt-get update', 'aptitude update').
5. Get 'Rebuilding search index' message with background process /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index and high CPU load and high temperature as the result.

Expected results:
Muon runs update-apt-xapian-index only when it's really needed. Muon allows user to search packages instantly after launch.

Actual results:
Muon rebuilds search index very often and inefficient. Muon does not allow user to search packages instantly after launch.

Note:
This bug is very similar to the Synaptic one (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685376).
It is caused by problems in apt-xapian-index (mainly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612948).
