** Description changed:
Dash still shows the result of application search in a fixed order. It
should promote most used apps in search.
Example,
I use Skype a lot, a launch it a lot of times but when I type 'S' in
application search, the apps are listed in this order,
Simple Scan, Software Source, System Settings, Skype
This result in a lot of typing when names are similar. Dash should
behave more like GnomeDo and Synapse promoting most used applications in
search
+
+
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ Desired Solution:
+
+ Currently in the Dash relevancy ranking uses the quality of the string
+ match, e.g. exact matches are ranked higher than partial matches, etc...
+ Currently when the relevancy is the same e.g. there are two exact string
+ matches, the results are then ordered A-Z
+
+ The change request is to change this second tier of ranking to be based
+ on usage, e.g. when there are multiple exact matches, within the exact
+ matches the results are ordered based on frequency of use.
