Title:
  Dash search not finding programs?

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It is the first time I search for Cinelerra. Searching "cinele" in
  Dash only shows a Cinelerra icon I made on the desktop
  ("cinelerra.desktop"). Searching again, but with first uppercase
  letter ("Cinele") shows the normal Cinelerra program, as it should.
  Dash Search should not be case sensitive, who searches with
  upper+lower letters? I searched again for "cinele" and now I get both
  the program and my desktop icon in the files category.

  I could see this in at least another case: dash did not find a
  program, but after running it from terminal, then  it appeared in
  Dash.

  I do not know how it works, it is not intuitive when I cannot
  anticipate it's reaction to my actions. If it is some kind of
  "feature", please make it's interaction clear.
