<title>Finding an installed application</title>
<p><app>MenuLibre</app> provides two powerful methods for finding an application launcher.  The first, more traditional method is to click on category and application icons until you find what you are looking for.</p>

<p>The second method involves using the search entry located at the top of the <app>MenuLibre</app> window.  If you begin a search while inside of a category view, search results will be limited to that category.  If no results are found, <app>MenuLibre</app> offers to try the search again using no filters.</p>

<p>Search results are matched based on three criteria.  If the application name, generic name, comment, or executable match the search terms, the application is shown.</p>
