Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
- open a terminal, Files window, and Firefox window
- press Super+W to spread windows
- type "terminal"
- WHAT WAS EXPECTED: the terminal window would not be filtered out
- WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD: the terminal window is not listed.
However, if you type "firefox", the firefox window is shown because the regex matches.
I propose that not only are the windows in spread filtered by title, but also by
- application name, e.g. "gnome terminal"
- generic name, e.g. "web browser"
- application category, e.g. "multimedia"
This will more closely follow the search patterns in the dash + HUD search methods.
