This is a known issue, and something planned to be fixed (I actually left this as a TODO :P), see bug #1281297 ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1281297 Scale/Spread Search does not use applications name -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283617 Title: Fuzzy search on window spread filter is too narrow Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: - open a terminal, Files window, and Firefox window - press Super+W to spread windows - type "terminal" - WHAT WAS EXPECTED: the terminal window would not be filtered out - WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD: the terminal window is not listed. However, if you type "firefox", the firefox window is shown because the regex matches. I propose that not only are the windows in spread filtered by title, but also by - application name, e.g. "gnome terminal" - generic name, e.g. "web browser" - application category, e.g. "multimedia" This will more closely follow the search patterns in the dash + HUD search methods.
