<p>The <gui>Dash</gui> allows you to search for applications, files, music, and videos,
and shows you items that you have used recently. If you have ever worked on
a spreadsheet or edited an
image and forgot where you saved it, you will surely find this feature of the Dash to be useful.
</p>
<p>To start using the <gui>Dash</gui>, click the top icon in the <link xref="unity-launcher-intro">Launcher</link>.
This icon has the Ubuntu logo on it.
For faster access, you can just press the <key xref="windows-key">Super</key> key.</p>
<p>To hide the <gui>Dash</gui>, click the top icon again or press <key>Super</key> or <key>Esc</key>.</p>
<section id="dash-home">
<title>Search everything from the Dash home</title>
<p>The first thing you'll see when opening the Dash is the Dash Home. Without typing
or clicking anything, the Dash Home will show you applications and files you've used recently.</p>
<p>Only one row of results will show for each type. If there are more results, you can
click <gui>See more results</gui> to view them.</p>
<p>To search, just start typing and related search results will automatically appear
from the different installed lenses.</p>
<p>Click on a result to open it, or you can press <key>Enter</key> to open the first
item in the list.</p>
</section>
<section id="dash-lenses">
<title>Lenses</title>
<p>Lenses allow you to focus the Dash results and exclude results from other lenses.</p>
<p>You can see the available lenses in the <gui>lens bar</gui>, the darker strip at
the bottom of the Dash.</p>
<p>To switch to a different lens, click the appropriate icon or press
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>.</p>
</section>
<section id="dash-filters">
<title>Filters</title>
<p>Filters allow you to narrow down your search even further.</p>
<p>Click <gui>Filter results</gui> to choose filters. You may need to click a
filter heading such as <gui>Sources</gui> to see the available choices.</p>
</section>
<section id="dash-previews">
<title>Previews</title>
<p>If you right click on a search result, a <gui>preview</gui> will open with more
information about the result.</p>
<p>To close the preview, click any empty space or press <key>Esc</key>.</p>
