How can I search for documents in Unity?

I would like to hit the super key, start typing a document name and have that document just show up. It seems like this is something Unity should do. Am I mistaken or have I somehow corrupted something?

The Dash files lens will only return results for files that have been previously opened. As far as folders it will only return those that contain at least one previously opened file

If desired you can still use the old gnome search tool, look in /usr/share/applications for it, (Search for Files) & if desired add to launcher or add thru a launcher icon quicklist
