Sometimes I miss the kde1 minicli which only had a lineedit :/

Which kind of use case does this improvement target?
Either you know the name of the executable you want to launch (and then
the description doesn't tell you anything you didn't already know), or
you don't know the name of the executable - and then instead of trying
100 names in minicli (!) you simply open the K menu and start the app, right?
So I fail to see the point...
