Comment 2 for bug 1309751

Here's a video depicting it:

So to recap, here's what happens. If you search for something, whether or not you open it, the next search is not a "full" search.

What happens:

1) Open dash via super key
2) Type libreoffice
3) Close dash via super key
4) Open dash via super key
5) Type yourfile.odt

What should happen is Unity should find yourfile.odt, but Unity does *not* find it. If you hit esc prior to step 5, Unity WILL find it. It's as if hitting the esc key (and thereby deleting everything in the dash search) reinitializes a FULL scan.

Is there a way to turn off the dash history? If Unity isn't even trying to save prior searches (which is useless anyway), then this would circumvent the problem altogether as it would force Unity to do a full scan each time.
