For example:
I create the file X.odt and then export it as pdf.
After I click on dash search (the files filter is active) X.
The X.odt appears with no problem but the X.pdf does not.
That happens always. What should I do?

To fix this, run sudo updatedb in terminal. It will take a couple of minutes to finish but at the end you will have your x.pdf file show up in the dash without logging out, restarting unity or erasing the zeitgeist databases which will make you lose all you activity information.

Another interesting question I found is Dash search gives no result.
