This is in Belenos.

According to the terminal output below, it looks like, when I type into the overview for Gnome Shell, I should be able to find files in my home directory, not just the installed apps. In other distros having the shell, I'm able to do this; E. G. typing 'mail', would, not only show thunderbird,but also there'd be a button for a folder named 'mail' in my home folder.

Thanks,

Dave

I wonder about this, too. It's a useful feature of GNOME Shell.

You need have the package tracker installed for that.
