There is an easier way if you are just using the keyboard. press the
system or "windows" key and start typing the application name (you don't
have to focus). I personally use synapse which makes searching for docs
etc easier although the next version of GNOME is supposed to have
integrated search.

(slightly hidden)method is still there for those who want it.
