Title:
  Dash - dash search should catch keyboard events immediately, not after
  UI is loaded and displayed

Bug description:
  Once we become expert at using our machines, the delay between tapping
  the Super key and starting to type results is short, and the computer
  lags behind.  I can hit Super, and start typing the name of a program,
  and the first few keys are lost because the search field in the Dash
  didn't appear until after I started typing.  That ruins the search,
  and I must start over.

  I haven't seen the source code, but surely the the UI isn't cheap to
  load, and even beginning to do that should be a step after starting to
  catch key events in a buffer to be replayed after the UI is up.

  The UI having been displayed must not be a prerequisite for catching
  the letters of the thing I'm searching for.
