Maybe you meant to say 'sub-names' ... not sure that's the right term
for that.  E.g Typing 'moni' gets you 'System Monitor' and 'off' gets
you all of LibreOffice or OpenOffice apps.  So, if you know a bit about
the Applications name, it helps (being accurate may not be necessary but
a piece of the name works)
