Took me a bit of thought to figure out what you probably meant by 'GNOME 
Shell overview'.  I guessed it was that box in the upper right what says 
search.  And I typed in part of a document name not opened but did have 
opened a little while back and it worked, bringing up a 'recent' view 
showing this document as a calc doc.  Clicking on it opened it.  Kind of 
neat.

Only thing is this requires me to remember part of the file name.  Well 
it IS a start.  And it DOES go back further than the last 7 documents!
