Bug Description
I have several versions of netbeans installed in Ubuntu 12.04. When I open the dash and type "Net", Netbeans 7.1 is the first search result under applications. However, when I proceed to type "NetB" , "netb", or "Netb" the result disappears. It seems that the application is registered as "Net Beans". If I type "Net Beans" with a space it works fine. Normally I would assume that this is a problem with the given application, however, in the dash, the application is displayed as "NetBeans IDE 7.1". I would think that if I type in that exact name, it should appear in the search results, but it doesn't.
In Summary:
Netbeans IDE is labled "NetBeans IDE 7.1" in the dash, but typing "NetBeans" into the dash will not display netbeans while typing "Net Beans" will. This is quite confusing and not intuitive. If dash lables a program as xxx typing xxx should result in the program being matching in the search results.
