Binary package hint: unity

The dash doesn't find files when searching for key letters (letter sequences), which will be helpful when you don't remember the exact name of the file. It does find files if the words are separated by space, but when the words are separated by '_' it doesn't.
Examples:
1) Two files 'backup_banshee.sh' and 'backup banshee.sh'. If I type in the dash 'backup' , both files will show up. However if I type 'banshee' only 'backup banshee.sh' will show up.

2) Two files 'Amenda 02' and 'Amenda02'. If I type in the dash 'amenda' , both files will show up. However if I type '02' only 'Amenda 02' will show up.

3) Other files appear as results, files that don't have anything to to with the search. See the bkp.png screenshot as an example.
