Title:
  HUD - HUD offers search results from app indicators more often than
  from currently focused application

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Application Menu Indicator:
  Triaged
Status in indicator-appmenu package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When using the HUD, search results are always reduced to menu items in
  the keyboard or network application indicators, irrespective of what
  application has the focus.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Start a application (e.g. Character map)
  2. Press ALT to open the HUD: the HUD search box opens with the 'Character Map' icon next to it
  3. Type "sh"

  Expected behaviour
  The HUD should favour menu options from the application that currently has the focus and only show app indicator menu options as secondary items. In the example above, the Character Map functions should be shown at the top of the list because this application has focus.
   
  There needs to be more weighting in favour of focused application (as opposed to the indicators)

  ----------------------------------
  Note from design:

  This is an important bug, the display of indicator and desktop options
  needs to be retarded.  The indicator options currently have too high
  of a prominence.
