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.
