The standard Ubuntu installation comes with many applications. Users can also download thousands more applications from the \application{Ubuntu Software Center}. \marginnote{Ubuntu Software Center and software management will be discussed in detail at \chaplink{ch:software-management}.} As you collect an arsenal of awesome applications (and get a bonus point for alliteration!), it may become difficult to remember the name of a particular application. Simply use the \emph{Application lens} on the Dash. This lens will automatically categorizes installed applications under ``Most Frequently Used,'' ``Installed,'' or ``Apps Available for Download.''\marginnote{If you are new to the world of Ubuntu, be sure to read the \chaplink{ch:default-applications}. It will provide you help in choosing the application(s) that suit your needs.} You can also enter a name of the application or a part of it, and the Dash will return the results. Even if you don't remember the name of the application at all, type a keyword that is relevant to that application and Dash will find it, in most cases (\eg, type \userinput{music} and Dash will return you the default music player any any music player you've used). \screenshot{02-applications-lens.png}{ss:applications}{You can see the default results when you press Application lens, and also the criteria on the right side.}

did some changes in the style/language in order to exist consistency with the rest of the manual -c7p
The Dash is quite clever. Even if you don't know the full name of the application, just type one keyword relevant to the application and it will find the right application in most of the cases. For example, if you want to find a mail client, type in \userinput{mail} or \userinput{send}, and the Dash will do the rest.

Workspaces are also known as virtual desktops. These separate views of your desktop allow you to group applications together, and by doing so, help to reduce clutter and improve desktop navigation. In one workspace, you can open all of your media applications; your office suite in another, and your web browser open in a third workspace. Ubuntu has four workspaces by default.

To switch between workspaces, click on the \application{Workspaces} Switcher located on the Launcher. This lens allows you to toggle through the workspaces (whether they contain open applications or not), and choose the one you want to use.
