We could file a zillion bugzilla bugs via a script....
I don't think that is very useful - it is really not about adding keywords to _all_ desktop files.
Maybe not _opening_ bugs for every desktop file, but in theory most
desktop entries should be reviewed to ensure there is no regressions. If
a user could previously perform a sane search for something, and in f18,
once they do that search it does not work any more, that is a
regression, and not a good experience for the end user.
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.
Is there any way to easily review or even view the search terms that a
desktop file will match on in the gnome-shell search? Would this be a
useful feature to request for alacarte?
