Just as an aside, the search works on descriptions too, so searching
for the category or a descriptive word will also work.

Alternately, if this is your main gripe with Gnome 3, enable the
Applications Menu extension. Install gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu if
you don't have it, run tweak tool, turn it on. Or go to
<https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6/applications-menu/>, accept
the permissions, and hit the switch to turn it on, which will download
it into your home directory.

I think it's neither an intentional move *nor* a mistake. (Why assume
either, really?) Something else is wrong. It shows up on my
freshly-installed system just fine. Do you have gnome-classic-session
installed? If not, `sudo dnf install gnome-classic-session`.

Also, the other desktops are available *now*. Something is up with the
spins website (when I looked in, it was being worked on), but you can
download the livecds directly at
<https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Live/x86_64/>

Or just install the package groups.
