I have the exact same problem.

I have temporarily fixed the problem by stopping tracker-store starting
by editing  /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop  and changing the
line X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true to X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
and making the same changes to /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-miner-
fs.desktop

I guess I am just going to have to live without desktop search until
this bug gets fixed.

Title:
  tracker-store uses 100% cpu and fills all the disk space in home
  partition

Status in “tracker” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I recently noticed that several tracker related programs were using
  100% cpu on my system and in particular tracker-store filled up
  completely all the available disk space in my home partition.

  I rerun tracker-preferences to make sure that indexing would not
  proceed if less than 20% of free space is available, but it seems that
  tracker-store ignores it.  After I noticed that I had left only 44Kb
  free on the home partition,  I deleted the cache from another program
  and I noticed that tracker-store filled up again the disk space that I
  freed few minutes before.

  This is the content of my .cache/tracker/ directory:
