I have to search for the app I want to use most of the time. There should just be a whole menu or list Not sure if this is how your supposed to do it, but I just search for the program once from the dash home, then once it's open I right click on the icon and click keep in launcher. The dock should be able to be moved different areas of the screen. did you get the Compiz Config settings manager (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager)? It has a bunch of settings for the dock (it's not fantastic but it helps).
