I was thinking about the same thing. That would be so cool.

we are referring to, the way you type and see the contacts, similarly if we could type and find apps.

This would be very very very usefull when you have plenty of apps (like I do). I think best kind of implement would be that when you type something on homescreen, it would search for contacts, apps and bookmarks instead of just contacts.

sounds good.
i would like it when you open up the menu and just start typing and it'll start filtering.
i think typing on the homescreen should be restricted to contacts, but then again, i guess this is just a question of preference?! could be an option.

Maybe like for contacts but you would begin with one push of the spacebar and then begin typing the app name. So you only get a list of apps and simply press enter when the right one is highlighted to run the app.

I've had this idea since PR1.2. It needs to happen. I keep all my apps in alphabetical order (standard) so just pressing a button would save me literally minuets a day looking for an application (I have a lot of apps).
One more thing to take into consideration is the fact that if I wanted to play Doom, in my mind the thought would be to press D (for Doom), but in the application manager it is PrDoom. Same with OpenArena and Quake. Maybe it would be good if the search looked more in depth.

Is there any way to run an app instead of the menu popping up?
Would anybody else find this useful?
