What if I don't use GNOME search? I don't use the GNOME desktop, so I don't want to have a random Firefox process running on my machine that is doing absolutely nothing and just hogging resources. Is this process only created when something tries to talk to it on the DBus socket, or is it always there listening?

Search provides are normally only started when something actually talks to it. Then normally it will quit 1 to 5 minutes after last use. (This is how a *typical* GNOME search provider works. I'm not familiar with the Firefox search provider, but I'd be pretty surprised if it was running when not used.)
