As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there. I think this is a feature request rather than a bug.

Useful for a number of different lenses. -Zoom in and out (show more / less). Zooming out would allow to make the icons smaller and show a bigger number of results. Default would be 48px icons like on the launcher for the apps lens. Could be part of the filters or an alternative view. Zooming In on the other hand is useful for showing thumbnails of files, pictures, music, video,etc. in their respective lenses. -Askubuntu lens: a better view for these type of search results because of text strings being limited to the size of the icon in icon view.
