You can search for "bro" and among the results will be

A "keyword search" is appropriate
when you already know what you are
looking for but not if you only have "fuzzy imagination" about what you
are looking for.
That said "keyword search" can't replace "extended browsing" (such
as
gnome 2 supplied through tooltips).
Or differently: How are newcomers or users who are looking for an
application to perform an infrequent task expected find out what an
application does rsp. which application is hiding underneath an icon
with Gnome 3?
Requiring users to launch all of them (which seems to be Gnome 3's
philosophy, AFAIS) definitely is not the solution.
