So from looking at the log: 23.19s - Unity queries applications masterscope 26.37s - apps scope appears on bus 43.49s - BAMF query for running apps 43.58s - Search invoked on apps scope 48.20s - Search inside apps masterscope timed out, sent no-results reply 52.30s - Search in apps scope finishes
So on your machine it took the apps scope ~20 seconds to initialize and start processing requests, and then another ~9 seconds to process the first request, which is pretty bad, cause the dbus timeout is 25seconds. Although from the log it's also visible that the apps scope did respond to further searches, I assume the case where it doesn't work at all is when the initial initialization itself takes more than 25 seconds. All in all, I'd attribute bad IO performance to this issue, but clearly the apps scope should handle that better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

This sometimes happens for one search but either re-entering the search or toggling the lens has always fixed it in the past for me. This time neither of these steps work. I'm attaching a bustle log of the problem in case that's helpful. I searched for "spotify", which I've got installed, and got 0 results. The only way to fix the issue is to log out and back in.
