I recently installed Ubuntu and noticed a possibly purposeful behavior.

If I add "Chrome" (just as an example) to favorites (which pins it to dock), clicking "Show Applications" button does not list Chrome as one of the apps.

If I remove Chrome from favorites, it turns back to "Show Applications" menu. But I like it in dock.

Searching still returns Chrome, and I can start Chrome from dock anyway, but I wonder if there is a way to "Don't hide apps that are favorites"?

It is indeed a change with purpose. You place an application in the Dash because it is a favorite: you will use it a lot, and you will reach for it the Dash. Having it duplicated elsewhere in the Application view therefore makes less sense.

As usual, there is a Gnome Shell extension out there that can revert to the old behavior: Favourites in AppGrid by harshadgavali.
