Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Sometimes, I find myself typing the same (or quite similar) search strings inside a Unity Lens. So, I thought whether it's possible for the Lens to remember previous searches, and provide a drop-down menu of possible suggestions (based on the past) when I start typing my new query.

With Lenses for sites like Wikipedia and DuckDuckGo, the search strings are getting longer, and this feature would lend a helping hand in filling out queries faster.

This could be something applicable to all Lenses, with later versions allowing individual Lenses to run their own auto-completion algorithm.

This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions on filing a bug report are here. – Jorge Castro Sep 11 '12 at 16:22
Just to clarify that this is a feature request which is handled the same way as a bug report, that's why you were referred to the bug report question. – Tom Brossman Sep 11 '12 at 19:10
Thanks, I will file a bug report. So, I guess if something seems like an unimplemented feature (after doing some research on my part), I raise a bug report instead of asking about it here? My previous question also appears to be a feature request then! Just needed your guidance. :) – Anant Sep 12 '12 at 17:31
