<p>When I search in the dash for 'Games', I only get two. If I search for 'Internet', I get only a few results compared to what I get when I right-click 'Applications' in the dock and choose Games/Internet, etc.</p> <p>Is there some way I can make dash show all these items on appropriate search?</p>
