How to get a list of applications installed in Ubuntu dash?

Question

In Gnome, we have applications grouped up based on their type (like - games, accessories, et al). But in Unity, we need to manually type in the Unity to get the App.

Is there any keyword/utility to display the applications in GUI?

Ubuntu Version : 14.04 Hardware : Dell Inspiron 3437

Solution 1

• Open Dash, click on the applications icon (at the bottom of Dash)

• The first row shows most recent, below are installed applications

• Click on "See more results" to see all installed applications

• Scroll up/down to see them all

To Filter the applications by category; in the right top: Filter Results

Solution 2

Easy way: press Super+A to open the Applications with also view group type at left.

Cool. The answer is awesome. Now I am able to list down the installed apps.

Perfect, If you are not afraid of running a script, here is another option to get a categorized list: askubuntu.com/questions/490139/…. (But non-GUI :) )

Filter will only show up if you used it the last time in Dash, else Dash will appear without :)

This doesn't work. I open dash, click "see more results" and chrome doesn't show up, even though Chrome is most certainly installed.

@ScottF If so, it's an issue with Chrome, not with the answer :/
