I think the cause of this problem are filters, they are apparently not reset correctly in this scenario. If you expand the filters on the 2nd search and select Applications, it works as a workaround too.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Press the super key to bring up the dash 2. Type a search query that will return only files 3. Go away, perhaps by opening the file you searched for, or pressing the super key again 4. Press the super key to bring up the dash 5. Replace the previous search term with a search query that should return applications 6. Notice that it actually returns only files I expected the 2nd search to return applications (and maybe files) -- but certainly not just files. The workaround is to delete the search query before beginning to type to replace the search term. I have a video showing the error. Let's see if I can attach it...
