Bug Description

What is currently called "Head Up Display" in Unity is not related to "Display", but indeed is a bar for searching the menus.
This makes harder the use/comprehension of Unity from new users.

For better comprehension, it could be renamed to something closer to its real functionality, like:
- "Menu quick search",
- or "Menu search bar",
- or "Menu accelerator"...

Even if the menu appears over the all display, it does not mean that we have the "head up looking at horizon" (It still happens on a screen, through wich we can't see the horizon! ;o).
So, what about something like:
- Screen Up Menu
- Screen Up Display
- ...
