** Description changed:

  When using the HUD, search results are always reduced to menu items in
  the keyboard or network application indicators, irrespective of what
  application has the focus.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
- 1. Start Firefox
- 2. Press ALT to open the HUD: the HUD search box opens with the FF icon next 
to it
- 3. Type "pref": the icon changes to different app indicators (what app 
indicator is shown varies), in particular the keyboard and network ones and 
does not show any FF menu options
+ 1. Start a application (e.g. Character map)
+ 2. Press ALT to open the HUD: the HUD search box opens with the 'Character 
Map' icon next to it
+ 3. Type "sh"
  
  Expected behaviour
- The HUD should favour menu options from the application that currently has 
the focus and only show app indicator menu options as secondary items. In the 
example above, the Firefox Edit > Preferences menu item would have been the 
obvious one to show considering FF had the focus.
- 
- It looks like the HUD in its current state is only able to show search
- results from the focused application or one of the app indicators but
- not both at the same time. The result is that it jumps between focused
- app and app indicators making it very unpredictable. A more stable
- behaviour would be to show search results from both the focused
- application and all app indicators with an order that favours the
- focused application.
+ The HUD should favour menu options from the application that currently has 
the focus and only show app indicator menu options as secondary items. In the 
example above, the Character Map functions should be shown at the top of the 
list because this application has focus.
+  
+ There needs to be more weighting in favour of focused application (as opposed 
to the indicators)
  
  ----------------------------------
  Note from design:
  
  This is an important bug, the display of indicator and desktop options
- needs to be very significantly retarded.  They currently have much too
- high of a prominence.
+ needs to be retarded.  The indicator options currently have too high of
+ a prominence.
