Gnome-Shell: Shell search does not find all programs

Hello there, following issue is bothering me:
After update to gnome 3.8 (some time ago, because of this issue I switched to KDE, but would like to return to gnome) the shell search does not find all programs when searching.
E.g. thunderbird, chromium, vlc are not found, but applications shipped with gnome are.

In "show all applications" I see the icons of all programs, so the search is having the problem.

Gnome-Shell extensions installed are "dash-to-dock" and "topicons", but disabling them has no effect.

Ask for more information if you like, don't know which are in this case here useful ...

I've noticed this as well. I know of no solution. I have just been living with it.

I submitted a bug report here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706201
Maybe there is a solution.
