** 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.
