Blueprint changed by Jack Yu:

Whiteboard changed:
- Since the goal of Dash is acting as a fast information searching entry,  all kinds of  information should be allowed to display on the lens. Different information has different displaying mode. More render types than just listing the searched results will make the dash  more beautiful and more interesting : )
-      According to the source codes, libunity is not used to implement Unity Shell but provides a client for the purpose deeply integrated with Unity Shell. While libunity defines enum types of Dash renders,  actual renders are implemented by Unity in Dash directory.
-     Items to discuss:
