The Dash is more like a search engine than a directory listing.  Think 
of it like Google.  You don't go to Google for a list of websites by 
category.

What you want is a way to browse installed applications, not find 
specific applications.  This isn't what the Dash is designed for.

Perhaps it would be better to discuss providing a different method of 
browsing applications, rather than trying to change the nature of the 
Dash to make it behave like something it isn't.
