[Bug 919801] Re: Unity dash file search is extremely slow

 

I have the same behavior on 3 different PCs, all i7s.   It often takes
40 seconds for results to show up in the dash during the first 5-10
minutes of use.

Title:
  Unity dash file search is extremely slow

Status in Unity Files Lens:
  Incomplete
Status in Zeitgeist Framework:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity-lens-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to use the Unity dash search feature to navigate to files
  and folders, it is extremely slow. For example, if I hit the super
  button to launch the search and then type "Pictures" to get my
  pictures directory, it takes almost 5 seconds for the folder icon to
  show. In comparison, if I use Gnome-Do to navigate to my Pictures
  folder, it's basically instant.

  I have attached a video screencast so that you can see the problem for yourself.
