** Description changed: Not a bug specifically, but... It would be really nice if, when you hit Super and start typing the name of an application you wish to open, Unity behaved more like GNOME-Do. What I mean is that in Unity's current form, you have to type the proper name of the application. Whereas in GNOME-Do, you can just hit a few characters from it and it will find it for you. For example, "Synaptic Package Manager". In Unity you have to start typing S Y N, but in GNOME- Do you could type S M or S P or S P M, etc and it knows what you mean. The letters don't have to be adjacent to each other in the name of the application for GNOME-Do, but they must be in Unity. This would be a nice little feature to have, and would make Unity that little bit more unifying. + + ------------------- + Second description of same issue from dupe bug: + + This could be seen as a wishlist, but in my opinion the current behavior + is unexpected. + + When using dash and starting writing the name of the application/file, I + expected the match being done with *all* the name of the application, + not just the *start*. I mean, if I type "dict", I expect to see both + "Dictionary" and "StarDict". I notices this several time; you often + remember part of the name of the application and sometime it is not the + start of it.
