Btw, the Keywords= fields in existing .desktop files are a mixed bag. Some have decent content, some don't.

Here is a list of the preinstalled ones in krillin:

English keywords: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11095533/
Spanish keywords: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11095541/

After trying a few searches like the ones pointed out by mpt, I believe the scope should drop mid-word matches (eg: "ca" should not return "Authenticator").

But still, I think keyword matches are good (eg: returning "The Weather Channel" when the user searches for "Forecast"). If results were shown in a list (like searching in the store scope), perhaps the found keyword could be shown in a light gray subtitle.
