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 Analyzer", "Passwords and Keys". Unity8 returns: "P: Password...", "S: Simple Scan", "U: Universal..." So Unity7 is returning the more useful result first, but it's still not perfect. I would have said the perfect answer would be to only return "Simple Scan" for "si". If we did that then the alphabetical split would not matter (only one result returned). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671834 Title: [unity8] searching in app drawer with a lot of apps can make you type a lot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1671834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
