Title:
  unity dash loses ability to search for applications

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

Bug description:
  Every so often, about once a day (I haven't identified a trigger for this behaviour), the unity dash loses the ability to search for applications.  I can open the dash and type, say "firefox" and nothing shows up. Rebooting does not seem to fix the problem.  However if I type, as recommended here <http://askubuntu.com/questions/125843/dash-search-gives-no-result> (note this is a slightly different bug, I can still search for files and the like):
  rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
  unity --reset &

  Unity restarts and searches for things normally. Somewhat to my
  annoyance a lot of settings get lost, for instance the custom sizing
  of my launcher icons. Fortunately, I can keep working, but I'd like
  this problem to go away if possible.

  I am running Ubuntu 12.04
  Kernel 3.2.0-58-generic

  I am running the kernel released by siddhu in this bug report
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093217 because
  it fixes a problem where the computer hangs while booting.
