That problem appears to be fixed.  So should be fairly good now.

Press the windows key and then start typing

Synapse is a light weight alternative to GNOME Do if you prefer a app like
that.  GNOME 2.8 which will be part of Fedora 19 also has search

Compiz probably will be around for a few releases based on maintainer
interest and assuming upstream continues to be active.  However Compiz
isn't usable within GNOME 3 since the entirely GNOME Shell UI is just a
plugin for Mutter (a port of Metacity to Clutter)
