Bug Description
When I start Unity and click on the dash (which I suspect many users will do to find their applications, files etc), the home lens displays nothing for a number of seconds which offers a confusing user experience. If the results are unable to be displayed immediately (which would be preferred), some kind of indicator of the results loading should be displayed.

Jono Bacon, there is already an indication in the search bar where the icon keeps on rotating until it finishes the search. Isn't that enough? Or do you propose something like a string displayed in the dash?
Also could your experience be related to you are trying this out on virtualbox where the performance is not adequate?
