I wouldn't say it is completely useless. At least you can search and this
is really helpful if you have many apps installed.
Anyway, the quick-launch author has implemented
my app-search function for his app. You can open
the app search with the cam keys.

Sorry, but cannot seem to find correct package which contains search as you type for applications in your repo.

Completely useless was too strong word for it, indeed :)

Will try the latest quick launch, thanks for the tip!

There is no such program. What is there is a keyboard shortcuts program that allows you to run another program (such as the app-search program) by pressing some key combination.

What is the status for this? Is porting launchy an option for N900?

Re: [Request] "Find as you type" for apps
 
In case anyone finds this thread while searching for launchy or gnome-do, just wanted to provide a link to a thread where I show step by step how I used a couple of packages to achieve that functionality.
