Bug Description
When searching for something in Dash, files and folders is painted before applications. IMO, applications should be displayed first. If I search for the term "firefox", I'm presented with files I've used with firefox first and then firefox itself. If I want to open a file, I'll search for it's exact name or path not the application I opened it with.

I have apps first too. Are you sure that the applications daemon is running at all?

Yes, it is working but somehow 'files and folders' show before 'applications' in Dash while searching. What more info can I provide?

I can reproduce this. When using the askubuntu place at lp:askubuntu-lens the dash returns those results on top, and then the applications below it instead of the other way around.

I just got it as well.
Seems the places are racing on startup to get the top spot or something.

Still having this bug in Ubuntu 13.10 with Unity 7.1.2+13.

And it's extremely annoying. Like I type "dc" it finds "dc++", I hit Enter, it suddenly finds some folder and opens one of them.
I have the apps first here - what version of Unity are you using? ('apt-cache policy unity' will tell you)
