I have finally tracked down all of the bugs reported so far except for the fast ctrl-g segfault/crash.
With master I was able to open a huge book and search for "the" repeatedly. I was even able to hold ctrl-g down and get it to repeat as fast as it possible could but never get it to crash. I tried the same with a short book and no crash - just a No Matches Found message constantly flashing. So either this is not an issue on MacOS or I am not doing enough to recreate what you are seeing.
I do hope people report all crashes though. I truly hate apps crashing and there is no reason for it. I want to track down any you are seeing. That said, my macOS Sigil builds have not crashed on me in literally years. So you must be exercising code I rarely use.
Stability should be the first goal of any piece of software. I thought we were there (at least on macOS) but if many of you are reporting a crash there must be something there (but maybe platform specific).
The test builds are build made right now and in half an hour or so, I hope to have a a new (and hopefully close to last) test build for people to try.
