Title:
  Unity does not properly search everything depending on pattern of
  previous search.

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

Bug description:
  I have noticed in Unity that sometimes it does not properly search
  everything. By everything I mean items outside the scope of
  applications, but also documents, folders, etc. I found this very easy
  to replicate.

  1) Create a LibreOffice document entitled Passwords (aka Passwords.odt)
  2) Search for LibreOffice in the dash. Without opening anything, hit the super key to exit the Unity dash.
  3) Hit the super key and type "passwords". Note that only "Passwords and Keys" (application) shows up, when you should see Passwords.odt and "Passwords and Keys".

  Now if you repeat steps 2 and 3 again, but this time hit backspace to
  erase LibreOffice, then type Passwords, you'll see Unity kind of does
  a fully reset search, thereby digging up other items outside of
  applications that resemble the search term "Passwords". Given that
  Unity is meant to be the centralized finder of all things, it would
  make sense if Unity would search for all *local* items with all
  searches without the need to backspace. Before I figured out that
  hitting backspace kind of reset the Unity search to find more things
  outside the applications realm it was wildly confusing with how Unity
  would seemingly often find the document I wanted but other times only
  found applications that I didn't want.

  Thanks for your time!
