[Solved] gnome 3.14 and gnome-boxes search provider

I upgraded to gnome 3.14 and everything went smotthly with the exception that the search provider for gnome-boxes does not work anymore. When I try to find a VM using the overview, nothing appears. If I check the Search applet the gnome-boxes provider doesn't appear in the list. Any way to get it back? I do see the search provider in /usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1494 Sep 26 17:37 gnome-boxes-search-provider.ini

Re: [Solved] gnome 3.14 and gnome-boxes search provider

Answering my own question, it looks like the ini file for the gnome-boxes search provider is not up to date. Editing the contents of the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers/gnome-boxes-search-provider.ini with the contents from the boxes source tree ini file makes the provider start working:

[Shell Search Provider]
_Title=Boxes
Icon=gnome-remote-desktop
DesktopId=org.gnome.Boxes.desktop
BusName=org.gnome.Boxes.SearchProvider
ObjectPath=/org/gnome/Boxes/SearchProvider
Version=2
