The Desktop Entry Specification now provide a "Keywords" section.
Extract from the spec[1]:

"A list of strings which may be used in addition to other metadata to
describe this entry. This can be useful e.g. to facilitate searching
through entries."

This entry is used, for example, by Unity (Ubuntu default desktop) to
find apps that the user search in a semantic way.

Here is my proposal (think as "if user search $keyword, he should find $app):
Writer: odt;docx;Text;Letter;CV;
Calc: ods;xls;xlsx;Accounting;Stats;Chart;
Impress: odp;ppt;pptx;Slide;Slideshow;Presentation;
Draw: odg;Vector;Schema;Diagram;
Math: Equation;
Base: Data;

It would also be cool to add words such as "Excel", "PowerPoint", etc. because 
they became kind of common nouns for some people. We may also add "Oracle", 
"MySQL", "PostgreSQL", etc. to Base.
But I don't know if it is doable because these words are trademarked.

Keywords are not intended only for Unity: they also work, for example,
with Gnome-Shell.

Title:
  Add keywords to .desktop files

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  New
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  You should, for example, be able to find Calc in the Unity dash if you type 
"Excel".
  One may ask Average Joe to "create a slideshow", so "slide" should find 
Impress.

  Of course, you could find many more potential keywords (and this is
  even more useful in some other languages).

  So, please add a "keywords" section in libreoffice-*.desktop files.
