Bug Description
Lenses: different type of views can help with browsing large number of items.
-List view in particular is very effective and used in a number of applications including nautilus, music apps and traditional menus (gnome, kde, windows, mint, etc.). Useful for a number of different lenses.
-Zoom in and out (show more / less). Zooming out would allow to make the icons smaller and show a bigger number of results. Default would be 48px icons like on the launcher for the apps lens. Could be part of the filters or an alternative view. Zooming In on the other hand is useful for showing thumbnails of files, pictures, music, video,etc. in their respective lenses.
-Askubuntu lens: a better view for these type of search results because of text strings being limited to the size of the icon in icon view.

This is much, much worse on Unity-2D.
