In the applications lens, line 100 of utils.vala in the applications lens considers that the old_search (null) is the same as the new_search (""). The same code is duplicated in the files lens.
But the bug also occurs with the music lens and the gwibber lens. The probable extra cause is that a Scope has a default LensSearch active_search attribute whose search_string is "" by default hence when getting to line 229 of unity-scope-private.vala the new "" search is discarded. ** Also affects: libunity Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libunity Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libunity Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: libunity Assignee: (unassigned) => Neil J.
