Good point, Ian. I am convinced now that the dash must not absorb the

The dash should remain user-friendly, especially for new users.

I wish there was no difference between Dash search (Super) Alt-F1 and

Both search panels look exactly the same, and should behave exactly the

No, they're different things. The dash searches for applications and
