Binary package hint: gnome-main-menu
In screenshots of gnome-main-menu that I've seen, there is a search bar. However, there's no search bar on my machine. Bug #84414 suggests that it might be because beagle isn't running on my machine. But it shouldn't matter whether I have beagle or any other search service running.
The most important feature of a search box would be to quickly provide a way to start programs not listed in the favorites--especially since the application browser takes so long to come up (see bug #105333). Running beagle for the sole purpose of searching menu items (if beagle is even capable of this) is overkill, and I have no other use for beagle since locate works admirably for me. |

I'm not sure if I'm reporting this in the right place. I installed the package gnome-main-menu, not slab (which doesn't exist in the edgy repos). I followed a link here from the Launchpad entry for gnome-main-menu. |
