keyboard layout-independend search in dash  
Written by Леонид the 29 May 12 at 08:14. Related project: Unity. New
auto-switch keyboard layout, when no results found in unity dash.

Example:
When I type "цвет" and "wdtn" (same buttons in keyboard, but different layout) in google - I get similar results. When I type this in dash - I get zero results on "wdtn". Unity should understand this and change keyboard layout automatically to russian language.

Solution #1: search in different keyboard layouts
Written by Леонид the 29 May 12 at 08:14.
1. Search in current layout.
2. If no found, switch text to next layout ("wdtn"->"цвет") and search again.
3. Repeat for all system layouts.
