Bug Description
When using Unity via keyboard, e.g. hitting "super", then tying an application name, and hitting enter, Unity launches a totally unrelated app, instead of the one the search shows.
For example, I was typing "fire" in order to launch Firefox, and Firefox did show up correctly in the first position of the dash, however, when hitting enter, Nautilus launched instead.
The correct behavior, until recently, was that the application that pops up in the first place after typing parts of its name will launch when hitting enter.
This bug seems to just recently have appeared, since everything worked as expected before.

I also noticed that sometimes no app is launched whatsoever, even though the correct app was found in the search and is shown in the first position of the Dash.
