I'm really getting sick of the Unity dash search. It takes multiple seconds to show the dash, I have to check the application filter over and over again and if it cannot find applications sometimes (I only use it to find applications) When it can find applications, it takes at least 10 seconds to find firefox when I type 'firefox'. The Unity dash is even capable of freezing my whole desktop environment for seconds and it swallows CPU like I'm rendering a heavy Blender 3D scene. This forces me to run applications via the terminal (I'm not against terminal usage but sometimes buttons are just more relaxing) Is there any alternative besides switching to KDE or another environment? The slowness has sustained through several Ubuntu distribution updates so far.
