Title: Unity does not properly search everything depending on pattern of previous search. Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have noticed in Unity that sometimes it does not properly search everything. By everything I mean items outside the scope of applications, but also documents, folders, etc. I found this very easy to replicate. 1) Create a LibreOffice document entitled Passwords (aka Passwords.odt) 2) Search for LibreOffice in the dash. Without opening anything, hit the super key to exit the Unity dash. 3) Hit the super key and type "passwords". Note that only "Passwords and Keys" (application) shows up, when you should see Passwords.odt and "Passwords and Keys". Now if you repeat steps 2 and 3 again, but this time hit backspace to erase LibreOffice, then type Passwords, you'll see Unity kind of does a fully reset search, thereby digging up other items outside of applications that resemble the search term "Passwords". Given that Unity is meant to be the centralized finder of all things, it would make sense if Unity would search for all *local* items with all searches without the need to backspace. Before I figured out that hitting backspace kind of reset the Unity search to find more things outside the applications realm it was wildly confusing with how Unity would seemingly often find the document I wanted but other times only found applications that I didn't want. Thanks for your time!
