Title:
  Fuzzy search on window spread filter is too narrow

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  - open a terminal, Files window, and Firefox window
  - press Super+W to spread windows
  - type "terminal"
  - WHAT WAS EXPECTED: the terminal window would not be filtered out
  - WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD: the terminal window is not listed.

  However, if you type "firefox", the firefox window is shown because
  the regex matches.

  I propose that not only are the windows in spread filtered by title, but also by
  - application name, e.g. "gnome terminal"
  - generic name, e.g. "web browser"
  - application category, e.g. "multimedia"

  This will more closely follow the search patterns in the dash + HUD
  search methods.
