Comment 4 for bug 317381

I was about to report this to although I put things a differently. For me one of the problems of docks is the space they take on the screen (I know there is auto hide) so I keep my dock with not too big icons but the counter part is not seeing well what I type: Also the results could be larger. So having the dock expanding when we enter the "typing mode" would be a great improvement.

Also because docky sits on the bottom of the screen and that's a bit harder to look than right in the middle has the classical gnome-do interface does. The results window will minimize this issue but I think a growing docky when typing is still needed for this to be really usable.
