Can I input Chinese character in Unity's dash?

Question

I use Ubuntu in Chinese language.

And a lot of programme on my Ubuntu have chinese name.

I can open it in Terminal. But I can not search them in Unity.

Because in Unity's dash, I can only input English, can not use input method. So can not input Chinese character.

I use Chinese as my mother language. And I use Chinese input method a lot.

Can someone help me to let me input Chinese character in Unity's dash?

I really like Ubuntu and want to use it more frequently.

Thanks.
