Here's another example with the filter section expanded. As you can see,
when searching with a query that returns several kinds of results, the
filters don't change. But when searching with a query that returns only
files, the filters are automatically changed to just files. To get
search results for a query that should return applications, I have to
either include applications in the filter, or remove files from the
filter, which switches back to the default filters, which includes
applications.

The same thing happens with other categories. In the example, I used
'chrom' as a search term, which should return google-chrome. But it also
returns some files. If I use a search term that only returns
applications -- 'google-chrome' -- then the categories are restricted to
applications (instead of files).

So, it looks like the issue is really that the dash is changing the
filters based on what kinds of results are being returned by your query
-- and then not putting the filters back to the default when you do your
next query.

Title:
  Unity home lens restricts results to only files after a search
  returning only files

Status in “unity-scope-home” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After doing a search in the home lens (the one that returns both files
  and applications for a search), if your search returned files, then
  the next search will return files too, even if it should be returning
  applications.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Press the super key to bring up the dash
  2. Type a search query that will return only files
  3. Go away, perhaps by opening the file you searched for, or pressing the super key again
  4. Press the super key to bring up the dash
  5. Replace the previous search term with a search query that should return applications
  6. Notice that it actually returns only files

  I expected the 2nd search to return applications (and maybe files) --
  but certainly not just files.

  The workaround is to delete the search query before beginning to type
  to replace the search term.

  I have a video showing the error. Let's see if I can attach it...
