Bug Description

It will be mighty useful for the shell to have some kind of indication for when the a search has finished on the place daemons. Use cases include:

  - Spinning the spinner until search has completed
  - Showing "no results" in globla search once all the places have told me theres no results
  - Once search is completed, expanding groups to fill up the available space

I propose to add a new signal to the DBus API (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Places):

  /* Optionally emitted by a place entry once it has completed all operations for
   * a SetSearch, SetGlobalSearch, or SetActiveSection request and fully updated
   * the result model(s) accordingly. Places are not required to emit this signal
   * and the Unity shell must assume that they do */
  signal com.canonical.Unity.PlaceEntry.SearchFinished (in u section, in s search, in a{ss} hints)

Then add some nice API for this in libunity and wire it up in the place daemons
