Bug Description

The latest version of the .desktop spec adds the "Keywords" key
"A list of strings which may be used in addition to other metadata to describe this entry. This can be useful e.g. to facilitate searching through entries. The values are not meant for display, and should not be redundant with the values of Name or GenericName."

http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html

GNOME has already updated the gnome-control-center panels to use Keywords instead of X-GNOME-Keywords.

The Dash/Applications lens should support searching for Keywords and eventually drop X-GNOME-Keywords and X-AppInstall-Keywords.

== TEST CASE ==

1. Open the Dash and type "Unity".
2. The Appearance panel of System Settings should show up
(see /usr/share/applications/gnome-background-panel.desktop )
