I am able to make this work by first stopping and then restarting the "gnome-documents" process. Search results from GNOME Shell will then be opened in Documents as expected. Unfortunately, after a few searches, Documents will crash and searching from g-s will no longer work.
I suspect that this is a Gnome Documents bug. However, Gnome Documents in itself will not crash unless it is accessed from GNOME Shell search results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819193 Title: Document search does not work Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1.
