A "keyword search" is appropriate when you already know what you are 
looking for but not if you only have "fuzzy imagination" about what you 
are looking for.

That said "keyword search" can't replace "extended browsing" (such as 
gnome 2 supplied through tooltips).

Or differently: How are newcomers or users who are looking for an 
application to perform an infrequent task expected find out what an 
application does rsp. which application is hiding underneath an icon 
with Gnome 3?

Requiring users to launch all of them (which seems to be Gnome 3's 
philosophy, AFAIS) definitely is not the solution.
