Bug Description

Installed on my desktop are:

Transmission Bittorrent Client
and
qBittorrent

When I type "torrent" the dash does not find any of these two applications. When I type "Bittorrent" just the Transmission Bittorrent client is showed. Looks like that every word is indexed but an inner-word-search or full-text-search is not possible.

when I type "torrent" Im expecting that qBittorent AND Transmission are showed up (in my opinion that would be more consistent). If it is a bug for you, let is be a bug, if it was a design decision then so convert it in a wish-bug please, because I guess most people would expect the same as me - at least in this specific scenario.

This is not a duplicate of #764857, which is a whishlist. According to the documentation Unity uses Zeitgeist as search engine, and with Zeitgeist fts-extension (which is installed by default) fulltext searches should be possible. But they don't work, so this is a bug, not a whish.
