Bug Description

I Have noticed that many users assume that the dash search will include instructions and help documents for applications and OS operations. Obviously it doesnt, but its a good idea to add it.

searching for ubuntu should return results from both the dictionary function (not yet added) and local machine information like version of OS.

searching for "firefox new tab" should load results for using tabbed searching in firefox from the firefox documentation either local or online.

Not a papercut, since this isn't trivially fixable. But I'll mark this as an ayatana-design bug anyway.

This could be mitigated by shipping the help lens and its scopes by default?
