2012-01-25 18:37:54 markba description When searching for a partial string in the application name, nothing is returned whenever this partial string is *not* the first part of the given application name. For example: when searching for baobap (the disk utilization tool), and entering 'bao', the expected app is in the resultset; note that only a part of the name (first 3 letters) are entered. But when you start at the back, entering 'bap', nothing is returned. This becomes a real problem when app names are combined of two separate words and the user only wants to search for the last word.

A good example is gcalctool, the calculator: searching for calc returns nothing.
