It appears that we match word prefixes only (which is arguably a good
choice): "ath" does not find "LibreOffice Math", but "math" does.
However there are some cases where U8's implementation is annoying.
Example: Search "si"
Unity7 returns: "Simple Scan", "Universal Access", "Disk Usage

Title:
[unity8] searching in app drawer with a lot of apps can make you type
a lot
To manage notifications
also if i search for a substring it doesn't seem to find anything,
search "imple"
@mzanetti not sure, maybe something like @saviq
in unity7/dash i only need to type "s" to see SimpleScreenRecorder in
the screen and "si" to be the first match, buh in unity8 is with
alphabet and stuff
it's
I suppose we could prioritize the results that *begin* with the search
string.
If we keep the alphabetical split, we'd need a separate section at the
top or so.

so right now, it searches for the application's name and keywords (from
the .desktop file) to contain the search string... This seems to make
sense to me...
what would you suggest how searching should behave?
