Dash search gives no result
I am using 12.04 in EeePC netbook. I keep on receiving a software update and installed it.
This evening, as I try to open the Dash Home and search for the installed application such as Skype, calculator, Microsoft wWord, etc., nothing appears, everything is gone. Only the files and folders in my Home remains. I also tried to open the Ubuntu Software Center but it buffer.
I don't have any idea how to fix this. Please help me restore all the installed applications.
