ALI - KMenu - Suggestion
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is my suggestion for the interface of ALI - KMenu (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=25484). By default application finder section is hidden. Click on the arrow will make animated drop down of the application finder area

In short, I think this would be confusing and would decrease usability.

Also consider what happens to it when viewed on screens with small resolution (laptops), add large fonts (there are people, particularly with visibility problems that do use large fonts) and your new addition to the menu goes off screen (it already happens to me with the recently run applications list).
And no, this cannot be yet "another" option for the menu config (I'm doing a pre-emptive strike here), the KDE configuration is already a nightmare of options.

Why can't people put functionality before prejudices. If things work, it doesn't matter if they're similar to other systems (Windows) - they're probably there because they're proven to work well.
This is not to say that this is the same as Windows XP, but if it were, that wouldn't be a bad thing considering the state of KDE's menu at the moment!

You KDE (windows hating) users have problem of hating everything which looks good and distantly familiar to windows you people get so bitter!
It's windows like? No way! it is more attractive and has much more functionality of finding application.
Grow up guys, If you really hate windows you have to stop using KDE! why? see this list:
1. Window decoration
2. window button placement (minimize, maximize, close)
3. panel
4. shortcuts keys (ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+n)
5. menu (menu looks exactly like windows)
6. show desktop button
7. quick launch
8. system tray
9. toolbars
10. folder icons
11. kolourpaint (exactly like mspaint)
12. ....and the list you can increase by yourself.
Keep hating windows and stop using KDE, because KDE is more like Windows!!! And you know that!

Also, if you think windows is bad, fine, but why are you charging the graphics they use. Looking like Windows doesn't make KDE weaker.
I guess there are just some people who have to nag whenever they see something that resembles windows, that being technically(usability, etc.) better or not.
Sad.

Anyway, I'd rather see such searches as an applet in http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=25441
That would be really nice :)
