Public bug reported:

Searching the term `dis` in order to find the displays settings icon in
the unity dashboard doesn't return a result reliably. Besides the fact
that the search is very slow for applications (regarding the fact the
search algorithm mustn't do anything else than searching a path iterator
of a prefix tree with 1M items in the worst case 1M applications are in
`PATH`) it is often necessary to close the dashboard and reopen it after
the search terminated without a result. At a second, third or even
fourth reopening of the dashboard and start of the search the icon is
usually found.
