What's the status of this request? Was an API for summoning the Dash ever added? Would be great if the the dash could be summoned directly from a replacement launcher, such as from Cairo-Dock.

Currently, it is possible for third-party applications to request a file browser open, looking for a certain extension of file. It should also be possible for third-party applications to request the Dash open, looking at a certain scope, lens, and filters-combination. Ideally, libunity would provide a D-bus API for such a task. This was originally an AskUbuntu question, but since sabdfl encouraged me to file a bug for this problem, I figure I might as well. The question [ http://askubuntu.com/q/72266/24694 ] provides one example of how this API might be used.
