Bug Description

Unity Music Lens doesn't return search results when entering query input.

See screen capture.

I didn't reproduce it but it happens several times. Often when just logged in.

I'll load the screen capture when it doesn't return results later ... just by going to screen capture recent app in Unity Home and waiting for screen capture for 15 seconds and going to Unity Music lens, I had results for my search query.

I've been able to reproduce a search with no results.

Take notice, I was not online.

No search results even if connected to Internet from within my music collection right after login and checking updates.

Search works just partially: I have 15 albums of this band and only part of them are showing in search results.
When I'm not entering anything in search string, there only 15 albums appears from all of my big collection. Only small part of albums that I've already listened through Rhythmbox.
Also in every album's folder there is a file with coverart, but the lens is showing covers only for albums I've listened.
And nothing appears in Music lens when I didn't launch Rhythmbox yet.

And this is what I see after removing all songs from Rhythmbox, restarting it to rescan all library: I can see all 15 albums of Porcupine Tree in search results and only few albums in Music Lens without covers.
And when I'm trying to filter albums by genre or by year, only few albums appear, others than on the screenshot.

And I forgot: Ubuntu 12.10, 64 bit, Russian interface, Music folder has Russian name (system default).

I'm seeing this as well. I just got to 13.04 and tried to check it out. I'm not sure if it worked while I was on 12.10 as never tried it there. Nothing of mine comes up for Music, few results appear for both pictures and videos that make it apparant that it doesn't know my library. I keep my music/image/video folders on a separate drive and link them into the /home folder. Not sure if it should matter but thought it may be an atypical configuration.

I, also, have the same problem dating back to older Ubuntu releases. Now, I'm on 13.04 since BETA release with all the updates, so I should have all the latest patches ...

But still no results from music lens, I keep all my files into home in the music folder. My home is on a separate partition if that can help people debug .. ;)

I have sub folders a lot ... I like my music folder to be organized, but does it cost me the fact that no results are displayed in music lens .. ?

I have to wait to be online, and after like 5 minutes or so I've discovered that Unity can search, but this is a problem since new users will try to search their music sometimes when they are not online or immediately after login success ?! ...

Have anybody thought about that in the developpement release process ..

Thanks for the great support
