Forgive me that I'm re-explaining the bug, but I just want it to be clear. When I see this (I agree it is certainly not #1308037 - when that happens [haven't seen it for a long time though], *no* searches ever give a result until Unity is restarted - this is about some searches not working & retrying being okay), it's like this.

  - Open dash, search for something.
  - Usually it works but sometimes I get "Sorry, there is nothing that matches your search." wrongly.
  - When that happens, I can open "Filter results" and select "Applications" to see the results.
  - It's easy to reproduce - just hit ctrl-backspace and type the same search term a few times. Soon it'll not work.

I can only get this to happen on one of my two machines. Perhaps the interesting difference is that the one which reproduces it has been installed for a long time and the other one is quite new.
