Similar note. However when I test this, SPM takes quite a bit of time hanging in package index rebuild, but then is searchable with the 'Quick Filter' (it's not usable until then). APT doesn't appear affected, so can't say the problem is there.
SPM is version 0.83.
APT is 1.2.12.
apt-xapian-index is 0.47ubuntu8
Note: I have no ppa's attached. This is a fresh install of Mint 18. No previous hassles with SPM in the past. Suspecting this may be a re-emergence of an older xapian indexing issue.
