Yes I totally agree with Rüdiger Kupper (#9)

I love the new way of working that Unity provides - easy keyboard
shortcuts and minimal reliance on a 'mouse' pointing device.

Integrating options across several applications was *the* benefit of the
HUD. If I want to choose from the options of the currently focused
applications, I can simply select the preferences menu. What made the
HUD unique was that it showed options from several applications at the
same time...I suspect that some new users could have found that a tad
confusing at first but ultimately for everyone the ability to access the
indicators is a massive help.

- If this is a design decision we should not 'dumb-down' the HUD but re-implement HUD indicator searching.
- If this is a bug then I appreciate all the work that developers are doing and it would be really nice to get this fixed some time...

Thanks

Title:
  Unable to access indicators from HUD

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Confirmed
Status in Unity HUD:
  Confirmed
Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 I was able to use HUD to access Messaging menu and Gwibber's "Update Status" option there, making status updates to Twitter easy and fast.
  I could also use HUD to change my status in Empathy from Available to Busy and vice-versa.

  In Ubuntu 13.04 Beta HUD no longer finds the "Update Status" option when typing "Update Status" or "Update"
  Also writing "Available" "Away" or "Busy" no longer gives any results.

  Other indicators however are accessible and I can use HUD to Suspend
  my computer or to view Skype status or Ubuntu one indicator options.

  Repeating:
  1. Press alt key to start HUD
  2. Write "Update status" or "Available"

  What was expected:
  HUD should have shown options ether from Gwibber to Update Status or Empathy to change status to Available both available from the messaging indicator.

  What happened:
  HUD didn't find any results.

  Notes:
  I have Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 64bit upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 64bits and I'm using proprietary fglrx drivers.
