AFAIK the bug has already been fixed. Also please note that 12.10 is no
longer supported so I'm going to close this bug. Please reopen if you
can still reproduce it on a supported ubuntu release.

Title:
  "Sorry, nothing matches" string in dash search results flickers during
  search

Status in Unity:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When searching for content using the dash, the string "Sorry, there is
  nothing that matches your search." is displayed in the dash when
  search can't find anything. The string flickers on and off as it's
  redrawn. This is a bad user experience.

  To reproduce:
  1) Hit the super key to invoke the dash
  2) Type in a string that will not return any search results, like "asdfasdfasdf"
  3) Watch the dash for a few (5-10) seconds

  Expected results:
  The search begins and the string "Sorry, there is nothing that matches your search" is drawn in the dash

  Actual results:
  The search begins and the string "Sorry, there is nothing that matches your search" is drawn in the dash. The string flickers at an irregular cadence. I assume this happens whenever new search results arrive and the status of the results is redrawn in the dash.

  The flickering seems more frequent (5-10Hz?) on devices with fast
  disks such as SSDs.
