The Ubuntu Tomboy Lens is a Unity Launcher plugin that allows you to search notes created with the Tomboy application. It also allows you to create new notes and offers a note-only overview of your saved notes.

To install the Unity Tomboy Lens plugin in your Ubuntu operating system, open a terminal window (hit the CTRL+ALT+T key combination) and paste the following commands (one by one, hitting Enter after each one):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:remi.rerolle/unity-lens-tomboy sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity-lens-tomboy

You will also need to restart your session after the installation.
