    search icon (magnifying glass) missing

    Hi Community:

    I just installed 14.04 and can't find the magnifying glass search icon.

    I could't find it in the dash, either among all programs installed.

    Can someone tell me where it is?

    Thanks!

    I'm not familiar with that icon.What does it search?
    The dash itself is a system wide and on-line search tool.

    It searches for filenames and other things, depending on your specification.

    It looks like a search magnifying glass has been added to Nautilus.

    However, 14.04 shipped with a search icon that is supposed to go in the dock.

    Where is it?

    Thanks!

    The magnifier icon when a default icon set is applied on my computer opens system settings and the system log also has a similar magnifier icon. The file/search application that used to be included with the gnome-desktop-utilities disappeared with Gnome 2.
