Bug Description
The bfb dash lists search results in such a way that results from the Files place come at the top and those from the Applications place come below it. This approach has two disadvantages:
1) The files results take some time to come up. But the applications results load quicker. So the application icons get rendered first. If I click one application icon before the files icons get rendered, and the files icons get rendered milliseconds before the click at the same place (pushing the application results below it), I end up clicking a file instead. This happens to me daily.
2) I am not sure about the case of other users, but atleast in my case I use the dash mainly to launch applications rather than files. So the Application results should be near the search box, hence facilitating keyboard navigation and mouse movements.

I just tried this but in my case applications are shown in the first section
and files in the second.
