Bug Description

I entered the word "sd-card" (without quotation mark) into the dash in order to get some information through the smart-scope-server. But after a few seconds unity and compiz crashed. I could reproduce this failure.
I have not found any other string, which causes a crash, when being entered to the unity dash!
--> Other than this weird bug, I haven't go any problems with my system
