Unity search usually fails to include applications menu.

[Dru Shell]

I will try to launch an application via the unity-2d-panel search icon to retrieve the "unity-2d-places" menu. Most of the time lately, search fails to include applications. I have to click "x" to clear search or close/re-open unity-search several times before applications will list also from the search-bar. When the problem occurs, there are only 3-icons at the bottom of the search bar, again missing the applications menu. Once the applications menu eventually starts retrieving, a 4th icon will also display at the bottom for applications menu.

This problem seems to have been introduced after an update a couple weeks ago.

Thank you for developing Unity-2d interface. It is light-weight enough for my computers while offering many useful shortcuts and features. Temporarily I have had to switch to LXDE so an apps menu is available.

EOL have been reached, so no more maintenance. If that issue still exist, then report again using ubuntu-bug.
