[Bug 1078100] Re: Searching Dash for "drivers" doesn't find "Additional Drivers" tab

Like the reporter, I had to do a web search to find out where the module
to install additional/propritary drivers had gone in Quantal! From an
end user perspective I can see no logic in finding the driver related
settings in another module called "Software Sources"(sic!).

So my suggestion would be to rename "Software Sources" to "Software
Sources and Drivers" to make clear for the end user that this program
now also deals with driver things.

Kind regards,
Jan

Title:
  Searching Dash for "drivers" doesn't find "Additional Drivers" tab

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Now it is not possible to find "Additional Drivers" by searching for
  "drivers" in the Dash. It doesn't feel logically to select your
  hardware drivers in the Software Source package when before there was
  a separate menu item.

  Finally Google could tell me where to find it, but I think at least
  the "Additional Drivers" tab should be accessible though the Dash with
  the keywords "additional drivers".

  I believe the section should be a separate menu item in the Settings
  screen or in the System menu before Unity.
