can you try to reindex item with id {AAAF5DC8-662A-4B8C-9E66-52EF5EEDCA20} from developer tab and if the problem continue to appear write to Sitecore support. - Vlad Iobagiu
@SitecoreClimber : I did, and still i have the same issue, it seems it is a bug. - Ayman Barhoum
can you try to rebuild all indexes - Vlad Iobagiu
@SitecoreClimber still have the same issue, even after rebuilding all indexes. - Ayman Barhoum
If your StartSearchLocation item is bucket, try to sync it (Configure tab>Sync button) or Revert-Bucket it. - Anton

I faced the same issue and rebuild index of source item worked for me.

Items started appearing in field and search was also working fine. Then I faced new issue, whenever I click on Next/Prev/Refresh button, it was returning duplicate items.

It was due to the items which has multiple versions (Item versions NOT language versions). Refer link- https://sitecorebasics.wordpress.com/2014/06/21/multilist-with-search-returns-duplicate-results/

The solution is to add Filter=_latestversion:true parameter in data source query. For example:

StartSearchLocation={6A6541F7-5C39-4C40-8FF7-CCD7CB588227}&TemplateFilter={75DCC552-C3B6-56CA-BFA9-371550F116DC}&Filter=_latestversion:true
