You could turn the Search bar into a Run bar when the Shift key is held,
so that "Enter" does a search and "Shift+Enter" runs the command. 

Also, the "More Applications" button could have a drop-down next to it,
like the "New" button in Evolution's toolbar. The button would still
launch the application-browser, and the dropdown would show a regular
menu.
