unity dash database loading is not automatic

[shantanu saha]

Unity dash takes 10-15 seconds (intel corei7) to load initial data (applications, files etc). It only happen first time and when data loaded, unity search performance is good and excepted. Problem is that initial load is not automatic or doesn't start in background. Doesn't matter how many much time you spend after log in into system, whenever you open the dash first time, it will start the initialization.

How to regenerate:
1. Log in into desktop
2. Wait as many time as you want
3. Open dash and wait, initially no data will be available but searching animation. After 10-15 seconds data will be loaded and animation will stop. After that searching in dash in quick.

What should be the behavior?
1. As soon as user log in, system should initialized unity dash data, doesn't matter user open dash or not. Initialization time is acceptable but it should start in background automatically.
