The issue remains there after more than three years. It is perhaps a small issue, but it is an issue that is intrusive. It disrupts the workflow. Rather than quickly launching, for example, gedit, the Dash does return nothing or just some files. In the worst case, the user already pressed enter and some random file is launched. The user can then start to close that file and focus on the Unity dash: call it up again, press Escape and then enter the query again.
Unique and novel concept, the Unity dash. However, such details and the care for them determine whether a software is outstanding or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scope-home in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244869 Title: Unity home lens restricts results to only files after a search returning only files Status in unity-scope-home package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After doing a search in the home lens (the one that returns both files and applications for a search), if your search returned files, then the next search will return files too, even if it should be returning applications. Steps to reproduce: 1. Press the super key to bring up the dash 2. Type a search query that will return only files 3. Go away, perhaps by opening the file you searched for, or pressing the super key again 4. Press the super key to bring up the dash 5. Replace the previous search term with a search query that should return applications 6. Notice that it actually returns only files I expected the 2nd search to return applications (and maybe files) -- but certainly not just files. The workaround is to delete the search query before beginning to type to replace the search term. I have a video showing the error. Let's see if I can attach it...
