Yesterday, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. I then installed the Cinnamon desktop package.

After installing from software center or using DEB, packages don't show
up when searching for them. This thread is close to TWO years old and
still there is no solution.

The solutions provided above don't work, because those processes aren't
active according to the System Monitor.

Shame on an otherwise perfect OS!
Thank you for solving this issue.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  I am running 15.10 development version fully up to date, I installed it a few days ago and I have an issue with newly installed applications not appearing in the dash when I search for them, they can be started via console but the icons/launchers of newly installed applications will only appear in the dash after session is restarted.

  [Test case]
  1. Install a new applicaiton (using apt-get or the software center)
  2. Make sure the application is listed in the Unity Dash

  [Possible Regressions]
  Unity fails to list all the applications, not just the newly installed ones.
