Hi Al, I was using the file "shopping.ods" as an example! :-) If Unity Dash is supposed to be the "one-stop shop" for finding files, programs, web sites etc, shouldn't it find files that haven't necessarily been opened before? Seems daft to be able to use Unity for files etc that have been opened before, and yet have to use Nautilus search for files that haven't been opened before that Unity doesn't find? Doesn't seem to be joined-up thinking to me... -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
