The reason might be the translator simply translated the search keywords, but not append the relevant strings to the English ones. I didn't do much in Natty cycle so I don't know the exact situation, but this is the only reason I can think of. I'll be back in no more than a month to work on Oneiric hopefully, and might be able to handle this problem before its release. -- Regards, Aron Xu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663776 Title: [dash] Search field in Unity can not support iBus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
