Maybe you meant to say 'sub-names' ... not sure that's the right term for that. E.g Typing 'moni' gets you 'System Monitor' and 'off' gets you all of LibreOffice or OpenOffice apps. So, if you know a bit about the Applications name, it helps (being accurate may not be necessary but a piece of the name works) _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
