How do I show a list of applications in Unity?

Question

I'm more of a visual person. I prefer scanning a list of icons to being presented with a search box and being forced to remember the name of the thing I want.

Is there any way to view a list of installed apps similar to the "Applications" menu in previous versions?

Answer 1

When you open Dash->More Apps or the Application Lens, the applications are shown as icons with their name underneath. Both these options also allow filtering the results by a category.
