Bug Description
Onboard 0.97 can be configured to auto-show when an editable text entry becomes focused. It does this by reacting to AT-SPI focus messages. Unity Dash's search box seems like prime candidate to unhide Onboard, but currently there are no at-spi messages triggered when opening dash. It would be great if dash search could be at-enabled.
This is the original bug report for Onboard:

FYI, Onboard currently looks at these AtspiAccessible attributes:
atspi_accessibl e_get_role # ATSPI_ROLE_TEXT and various others (extendable) e_get_state_ set # checks for ATSPI_STATE_ EDITABLE _get_extents # position and size (in screen coords)
