Comment 55 for bug 663776

I found a strange issue in dash search. Since I cannot use Chinese to
search for applications in dash, I tried to type just "synaptic", but it
does NOT find synaptic package manager, I may need to search for the
application name in Chinese, which is not doable due to this bug.

However, I found that some other applications DOES work when searching for
their executable name, for example I can search for gnome-activity-journal
directly in dash, although its display name is in Chinese.

I am aware that I can use alt-f2 to do a fine name search, but isn't it
better to unify all kind of searches into one place? Could anyone explain
this behavior, or if I am unaware of any settings/tricks?
