Bug Description
[Impact]
When a file is hidden, users expect it to be hidden. Same for files contained in hidden directories. This can be a privacy problem for many people.
[Test Case]
1. Put a file in a hidden folder (name of the folder starting with ".", the name of the file without ".") - try with jpeg, it's easier to spot
2. Open the file and close it after that
3. Open the Dash and start typing the name of the previously closed file
-> Make sure you can't see the file appearing in the Files & Folders Lens
[Regression Potential]
Missing files in the dash file lens search.
---
Files contained in hidden directories often show up in files lens, which might and might not be desired - it can be useful in cases where you need to often search for and edit a configuration file for some application/service (which usually reside in hidden directories), yet many users think that by putting files into hidden directories these are no longer displayed anywhere.
The problem is that by putting a file into hidden directories, you no longer see the file in file browsers etc, but accessing the file still logs its usage in eg Zeitgeist, and users need to use the dedicated Privacy settings panel to ensure access to such resources is not logged.
We should have clear guidelines on when to use which to ensure consistent behaviour throughout the system.

I don't think that it's a normal behavior, since after fixing the bug https:/
Using the latest up-to-date Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 11.10
-------
Desired resolution:
- The files contained in hidden directories should not be displayed in the Dash
