Does anybody use gnome-do?

I was playing around with gnome-do today and I find it totally useless.

I tried is to look up totem.  So I entered totem in the search pane. The 
match it found was for a URL from my Firefox history:

http://www.ccieflyer.com/

Because the website contained the following text

**Welcome* to t*h*e M*arch

The bold are the characters it matched.  This is not what I was looking 
for so I hit the down arrow key to display the list of matches.  It 
listed 135 matches, the first 134 where URLs from my Firefox history and 
the last match was the one I was looking for, the exact match for totem.

Am I doing something wrong or is this how gnome-do works?  If this is 
how it works it's useless I expect the exact match to be listed first.

What's also not clear to me is whether clicking on the select box for a 
plugin is the same as installing the plugin.  The documentation isn't 
very helpful.  I expected to see an install button or an enable button.

According to the Wiki it says if I want to send email to mom I type

mom <tab> email

Doing this results in gnome-do telling me no results for email

So does anybody have any pointers on how to set gnome-do up and actually 
use it?
