When I click the Ubuntu icon, I get a full screen of 8 icons. Let's say I'm interested in that Brain game that I used to play on 10.04, but can't remember what the actual name was. So I type "brain". I get an empty page back. Hmm, OK, well, let's try something else. How do I get back? I have to click the Ubuntu icon twice. The first makes the blank results page go away. The second brings back the default 8 icons. I then click "More Apps". Hmm, it's not in the short displayed list of apps. I then click the tiny text that says, "See 89 more results" and scroll through lots of apps until I find the "brain" icon that I remember from 10.04. That's quite a bit of work compared to 10.04. I totally missed the "Filter results" option before. If that list of categories was available after clicking the Ubuntu icon, then I'd be happy. I could then simply go Ubuntu icon -> Games -> gbrainy. Another idea... let's say I want to use gimp (and it's not installed yet), so I type in "gimp" into the search box. Instead of a confusing blank page, provide a link to install the gimp package. Thanks for considering this.
