*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1056743 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056743 A beginner here so forgive me if I do something wrong. When I go to the dash and type in "freecell" what I want won't come up. If I type "free cell" the Freecell Solitaire game will show up which is what I wanted. The people on Ubuntu Forum helped me and asked if I would do a bug report. The thread is called "move application to folder".

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1056743 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056743 Of course this is subjective, but it seems to me that a modern search engine in this context should ignore spaces, anyways. Even if Unity weren't errantly splitting the names, it would seem common enough that a user wouldn't know whether to include or exclude a space in a compound- word application name. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999765 Title: Dash search won't return results when typing the exact name of an app containing a capital letter inside it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-lens-applications/+bug/999765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 999765] Re: Dash search won't return results when typing the exact name of an app containing a capital letter inside it
It is the capital letter in the middle. The reason it works with openoffice is because the command to start it includes the word openoffice without the capital letter. My guess is unity is splitting the words when it finds a capital letter, so it indexes "net" and "beans" but not "netbeans". As the command to start netbeans is not something like /usr/bin/netbeans it is not indexed there either. There's a workaround: edit the desktop file and either change the app name to "Netbeans" or add the word "netbeans" in the comment. Here's how. sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/netbeans-7.2.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=NetBeans IDE 7.2 Comment=The Smarter Way to Code netbeans Exec=/bin/sh "/usr/local/netbeans-7.2/bin/netbeans" Icon=/usr/local/netbeans-7.2/nb/netbeans.png Categories=Application;Development;Java;IDE Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999765 Title: Dash search won't return results when typing the exact name of an app containing a capital letter inside it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/999765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
