Bug Description
I often type the name of a program and then just hit enter to execute. The problem is, that Dash does not wait for the search to complete before executing, so it often ends up executing the wrong application.
to replicate (make sure you have filezilla installed):
open the dash and type "file", and you'll see Personal File Sharing as the first selected item
then press z and then enter in quick succession.
Personal File Sharing will load, even though FileZilla is the only search result I have for "filez".

A much worse type of the same issue had been prevalent in Natty, and it was fixed. But yeah, this tiny niggle still remains, and its noticeable only when you type the last letter and press enter with a very very very small gap.
And since our aim for Precise is a pixel-perfect desktop, I'd say this bug also deserves a fix, no matter how trivial it may be :)
