Ubuntu
unity package

I have lost the ability to use Dash in search for apps, for anything that I type into Dash to search for.

Asked by TWFJR

I seem to have lost access to Dash's search function. If I want the terminal I get a list of purchases. Search for the Privacy Panel and I get nothing. I have lost access to all that has to do with the system. All I get is Dash's search for purchases available. What has been corrupted?

Jeet, thanks for your responses. Loaded a terminal via your last post's suggestion. "unity restart" did not work instead it listed warnings and fails. Tried to copy using "cltr+ c but could not copy. Terminal did not have a menu bar to use.

Typing "terminal" in Dash search presents this message: "Sorry, there is nothing that matches your search."
