Specifically the content I have in mind is ods files, rather than 
applications. Every time I boot the computer, it takes a fair bit of 
time before the files I am looking for are found via the search box in 
the activities overview (i.e. pressing the super key). It's only after 
15 minutes or so that the search comes up with any results (this does 
not apply to Applications, which are always found immediately). I hope 
this makes sense.
