Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
The Unity dash doesn't seem to index evince. Invoking the dash and searching
for 'evince' or 'viewer' or 'pdf' or 'document viewer' doesn't show evince in
the list of resulting applications. For other applications in general, either
the executable name or the friendly name are both sufficient for finding an
application (e.g. either 'palimsest' or 'disk utility' find the same
application).
As a workaround, you can start evince from a command line, or launch it
indirectly by opening a PDF from e.g. nautilus and then right click the icon in
the launcher and selecting 'Keep in launcher' once it's running.
