1) Ubuntu Release: 11.10
2) Package Version: 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1

3) I expect to be able to search for "<search_term>[Return]" and have
the dash execute the most relevant search result for the full
<search_term>.

4) While inputing a search term into the respective field, dash will
display results incrementally. Hitting the return key will execute or
open the first result from the last incremental search instead of the
search results for the full term. This results in unexpected, annoying
and counterproductive behavior.

For example, I can search for "Synaptic[Return]" which results in one of the 
following, depending on if the last incremental search was performed on "", "S" 
or "Sy" respectively:
 - Gedit opens with the last edited document
 - Simple Scan opens
 - System Monitor opens

What will not happen, is that the Synaptic Package Manager will open,
even though "Synaptic" is specific enough to result into only a single
suitable match.
