I don't think that is very useful - it is really not about adding keywords to _all_ desktop files.

It is about adding keywords when there is a strong expectation that a search term _should_ match an application, but doesn't. As in the 'browser' vs firefox example.

That being said, I've just merged a patch in gnome-shell upstream that makes it match in GenericName in addition to Name. That will help for many prominent cases, such as browser/firefox, spreadsheet/oocalc. That will be in 3.6.2, which is due in two weeks.
