I just got this one myself. On the top of stdout from the apps daemon I
see:

  Error loading package indexes: /var/cache/software-
center/xapian/iamchert: Chert version file should be 28 bytes, actually
0

Which indicates that the index from Ubuntu Software Center could not be
loaded. When I do a search I see the following on stdout right before
the crash:

  ** (process:2700): CRITICAL **: UnityPackageSearchResult*
unity_package_searcher_get_random_apps(UnityPackageSearcher*, const
gchar*, guint): assertion `searcher != NULL' failed

  (process:2700): unity-applications-daemon-CRITICAL **:
unity_applications_place_daemon_add_pkg_search_result: assertion
`results != NULL' failed

** Summary changed:

- unity-applications-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in 
g_simple_async_result_complete()
+ unity-applications-daemon crash in 
unity_applications_place_daemon_search_is_invalid()
