Synaptic search broken in Ubuntu 9.04

After doing a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 desktop I fired up synaptic
and to my biggest surprise a quick search for apache2 did not show
any result. Google was bringing up mixed results so I just went strait
ahead to ubuntuforums.org. As always there was a fix listed there.

Here is how to fix it:
Open terminal and type in: sudo update-apt-xapian-index -f
This will force the index to be rebuild.
Now my synaptic works great!

Hope it helps... Good luck
