It should be a design bug. Adding a default focus to the first candidate
while the UI focus is the input box isn't really technically easy to
implement. But it's absolutely necessary to implement that, when I use
gnome 3 shell to do application search the first candidate is focused by
default. For any developer who wants  to fix this, gnome 3
implementation is a good start, I think.

Title:
  When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue
  that focus is on the first item in the list

Bug description:
  When one is typing into the search bar on the Dash, matches to the
  search criteria automatically appear bellow, and focus is
  automatically shifted to the first item in the list. This mean that
  hitting return immediately after typing will open the first
  application in the list. This is good.

  What isn't good is that there is no visual cue telling the user that
  the first application has focus, rather the impression is given that
  they must first press the down arrow in order to move focus to the
  first application. This is illustrated in the attached screenshot.
  When I pressed [RETURN] in that particular situation, the screenshot
  utility was opened, despite there being no indication that this would
  happen.

  When the down arrow is pressed, the first application becomes
  highlighted. I think this highlight should be applied as soon as the
  first search result become available so that the user can immediately
  see that the first application is currently selected.
