There's currently a trend of application developers to provide multiple .desktops for their apps in order to get to different parts of the app (for example private browsing in a web browser). One possible way to fulfill that need without having multiple .desktops littered around would be to have popular search-based launchers also search through quicklist items in a .desktop. In this way, power users who need quick access to those other functions can have them without littering menus or grids with extra icons.
