[Bug 1318863] Re: unity dash loses ability to search for applications
Do you have Online Search disabled? (System Settings > Security &
Privacy > Search) If so then this is likely a dup of bug #1320539 (Dash
search of applications is randomly disabled when online searchs have
been turned off).

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.
