Install and use Indicator Synapse
Yesterday +Eduard Gotwig pointed me to a new Synapse frontend, Indicator Synapse, a search indicator made by +Tom Beckmann. The indicator is similar to Spotlight. When installed, it adds search functions elementary OS currently lacks.
As of now, the indicator has some bugs and did glitch for me, but it had no problems finding everything I searched for.
You can either get indicator synapse from the Community PPA or Eduards PPA.
Here are instructions for installing indicator synapse from the Community PPA. If you already have the Community PPA added, you may skip this step. Open up the Terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type:
Now install the package indicator-synapse:
Log out and back in and you should be all set!
