Application Lens searches seem to be based on tokens of entire words, not substrings. They are delimited by whitespace or changes in capitalisation. If you attempt to search across changes in case, or in the middle of a word, the search fails.

For example, I have Handbrake installed (http://handbrake.fr/ ). The desktop file gives a description of "HandBrake". The capital letter B is significant. The following Lens application searches find Handbrake:

1. hand
2. brake

The following Lens searches DO NOT find Handbrake:

1. Handbrake
2. HandBrake
3. Handb
4. and
5. rake

I would expect any of these searches to produce it. Even disregarding the substring matches in cases 4 and 5, cases 1-3 should work.
