Applications search doesn't work in Ubuntu 18.04

Applications searching in Ubuntu 18.04 no longer works. This is a new install that has few modifications. The applications search feature hasn't worked from the initial installation for some reason.
Expected results: Type in a search term, such as "Settings" and see a filtered list of applications. In this case I should only see the Settings app.
Actual Results: No filtering is performed, all apps (either recent or all) continue to display.
Is there a way to fix this so that the search bar filters the results as it did in 17.10?
More info from journalctl -f

Found the answer here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1771278
Apparently I had installed the VSCode Search Provider but had it disabled. Even with it disabled it caused errors. After uninstalling it with the Software Center and rebooting I was able to search again. Please be aware that the application search did not work until rebooting, but logging out and back in may also work.

This "fix" didn't stick, and the search bar stopped working again. Since I'm not a fan of always customizing my Dock, I'd rather not attempt to use this option again.
