Public bug reported:
Unity search (at least for applications) is broken in last update. It
looks like search results are sorted much more by usage frequency than
relevance to keyword.
Example, searching for GIMP, results while typing:
---------------------------------------------
g
Home Folder > Text Editor > VLC media player > Files > GIMP Image Editor >
Software & Updates > GParted Partition Editor ....
gi
Firefox > Home Folder > Text Editor > Code::Blocks IDE > VLC media player >
Rhytmbox Music Player > Files ....
gim
Firefox > Home Folder > Empathy Internet Messaging > Files > Archive Manager >
GIMP Image Editor > Image Viewer ....
gimp
Home Folder > Files > GIMP Image Editor > Unity Tweak Tool > Time & Date >
Simple Scan ....
Even if I search for "GIMP Image Editor", gimp is not listed at first place.
Worked like a charm before.
Steps to reproduce:
1, Open dash
2, Try to search not so much used application
3, You will notice that results provided are not connected to keyword at all
most of the time
