Bug Description

As defined in the Spread design doc [1]:

Filtering Windows by Title Captions
The user can start typing to filter the windows shown to include only those which contain the search text in their title bar. Going forwards, this could also include the text content to be found in document tabs and the window content itself. The text field appears as soon as the user starts typing (any characters other than the numbers and the = and + characters, reserved for quickly switching to a labeled window).

unity (7.1.2+14.04.20140218.1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * Panel: Draw blurred in spread mode and show active close button Also
    desaturate the BFB on spread/expo and set an offset on scale when
    the launcher is hidden (so that we get events and we have a proper
    scaled windows geometry). (LP: #1280595)
  * UnityScreen: add a SpreadFilter when in Scale mode, when updated it
    filters the scale results The SpreadFilter is a BaseWindow with a
    SearchBar shown on the top-left corner of the active workspace that
    is hidden by default monitoring key-presses; when some content is
    written, the bar is shown, while is hidden when empty. Thanks to
    this we can finally filter the windows by name in the unity spread!
