[Bug 919801] [NEW] Unity dash file search is extremely slow

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

When I try to use the Unity dash search feature to navigate to files and
folders, it is extremely slow. For example, if I hit the super button to
launch the search and then type "Pictures" to get my pictures directory,
it takes almost 5 seconds for the folder icon to show. In comparison, if
I use Gnome-Do to navigate to my Pictures folder, it's basically
instant.

I have attached a video screencast so that you can see the problem for yourself.
