(Get the code!)
@Sergio, the listing of installed apps has no dependency on the network being available or talking to the server working. The timeout that deals with the network not being ready for available apps, is only set up and used by the network-using code. However, the Unity API for invalidating results does not have any fine grained control, so it will invalidate all results for the apps scope. This means that when the timeout is hit, a search for installed and available apps will recur. The installed apps should continue to be there. They might flicker (go away and come back), due to the way Unity works, but they should definitely not be going away and not re-appearing.
I was staring at the code for quite some time and trying to figure out how the situation described in this bug was even possible, and I see no way it can happen, from within the scope itself. I can only guess that something in libunity or the dash itself, is not properly re-displaying the results.
However, a full log with the debug info is needed to help determine that.
