I just love KRunner but it seems to me that it's not always easy to discover applications through it (it's the same in Kickoff btw).

So the other day I was showing my KDE desktop to a friend who don't know Linux and said "look how it is easy to find and install an application"... so I Alt-F2 to launch KPackageKit but to look even cooler, I typed "install" (I'm french so all was in french but it's the same in english)... well, nothing appeared, so I typed "application"... hmmm, nothing related to install. Heuu... "software" ? Yes !! Pffeww, it was easy, isn't it ?!

Ok, you get the problem : I think we need to have a way to associate keywords to applications, KCM (I can't even find the "input action" kcm by typing "mouse" or "gesture") and others services.

I don't even know if there is already a standart way to do this but maybe this should go in .desktop files ? One can even imagine to have a set of keywords closely related (ie "paint, draw..." for Krita) and an other set less precise ("picture, color...") in order to sort the results.

I think this will be a great feature to have and it can be pushed to others desktop too. And I will not look like a fool again when I showcase Linux to my friends

Yes, there should be more keywords for one action. That's a good idea
