Bug Description
No matter which category is chosen (home, application, files, music ...), nothing is found. Even if no single character is entered, nothing is offered. E.g. if I search for 'term', 'xterm', 'gnome-terminal' (or 't', 'x' or any other character), nothing is offered at all. Not even something that I'm not looking for. Dash results are always empty.

How did you install unity? You probably missing some of the packages. Try installing unity-lens- applications, unity-lens-files zeitgeist-datahub and then reboot.
Everything works fine here. You can also try with live usb.
