Yes that is similiar, but not quite the ultimate replacement. I would like something that integrates as well as the current 'type and search contacts' feature. For example, I type "P" on the keyboard and a menu pops up at the bottom with suggestions for "phone"(application),"phil"(contact), "play frisbee"(calendar event). If I then typed an "H" immediately after, it would filter away the last suggestion, and present only the 1st two in the example.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, I just wanted to show mu support for the OP's suggestion of replacing the default trigger when typing on the desktop
