Sometimes the app search doesn't work in the Dash

[Juan Manuel]

Sometimes I open the Dash by using the Super key or by clicking in the Dash icon; when I search for an app the Dash just shows files and folders.
It is really annoying because I need to log out to solve it.

I'm using the stock Unity Packages in Ubuntu 14.04.

I don't know how to reproduce it. It happens once in a while but I can't seem to find out why.
