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
