Forgive me that I'm re-explaining the bug, but I just want it to be
clear. When I see this (I agree it is certainly not #1308037 - when that
happens [haven't seen it for a long time though], *no* searches ever
give a result until Unity is restarted - this is about some searches not
working & retrying being okay), it's like this.

  - Open dash, search for something.
  - Usually it works but sometimes I get "Sorry, there is nothing that matches your search." wrongly.
  - When that happens, I can open "Filter results" and select "Applications" to see the results.
  - It's easy to reproduce - just hit ctrl-backspace and type the same search term a few times. Soon it'll not work.

I can only get this to happen on one of my two machines. Perhaps the
interesting difference is that the one which reproduces it has been
installed for a long time and the other one is quite new.

Title:
  Sometimes applications stop showing up in the Dash

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
   1. Open Dash
   2. Type a name of an application installed on your system, like "calculator"
   3. press escape

  What happens: Application scope stops giving results

  What should happen: Application scope should still give results

  How to fix it once it happens:
  A)type something and either hit escape or delete what you have typed.
  B)Check "application" in filters in the Dash (it gets unchecked)

  From the comments, it seems this might have something to do with
  people having online searches disabled.
