Dash search not finding programs?

[florin]

It is the first time I search for Cinelerra. Searching "cinele" in Dash only shows a Cinelerra icon I made on the desktop ("cinelerra.desktop"). Searching again, but with first uppercase letter ("Cinele") shows the normal Cinelerra program, as it should. Dash Search should not be case sensitive, who searches with upper+lower letters? I searched again for "cinele" and now I get both the program and my desktop icon in the files category.

I could see this in at least another case: dash did not find a program, but after running it from terminal, then it appeared in Dash.

I do not know how it works, it is not intuitive when I cannot anticipate it's reaction to my actions. If it is some kind of "feature", please make it's interaction clear.
