Looks like I solved the problem on my machine thanks to a recent post in
Ubuntu subreddit.

The post was titled: How I sped up my Ubuntu Dash. The user had problems
with Dash being very slow to show him search results and he found out
that the culprit was Zeitgeist. This thing tracks the files,
applications you used and your other activities.

It turned out that his Zeitgeist history was over two years long! When I
checked on my system I had it dating back to February 2012 so it was
even longer than his.

I deleted the folder /home/your_user_name/.local/share/zeitgeist (almost
700 MB of data) containing the Zeitgeist history just like he did and I
confirm that it sped up Dash. But it also resolved the problem described
in this bug report.

Bug description:
  Unity is in a state where I don't get any results from the
  applications lens. This sometimes happens for one search but either
  re-entering the search or toggling the lens has always fixed it in the
  past for me. This time neither of these steps work.

  I'm attaching a bustle log of the problem in case that's helpful. I
  searched for "spotify", which I've got installed, and got 0 results.

  The only way to fix the issue is to log out and back in.
