I would prefer a mix of number 2 and 3. The position should be as it is in the number 2 but I would prefer if they don't show inside the search bar. The way lenses are highlighted, showing it in search bar, is not consistent with rest of unity design. The icons and the way of highlighting is more c

I think the dash should be used to display recent stuff from your lenses. It should display recent email, recent comments on your blog, recently finished downloads, etc. I think it would also be nice if it only displayed the things you hadn't looked at. I don't know if it's currently possible,
