This discussion shows that there are two basical needs.
Users either search by a description or by real name.
Well, in general the search by description is half done by following the
submenu structure.
But it's not perfect, Matthias is right.

Well, considering both ones I would say that the best is if one can
configure it.
Maybe a Right-Mouse-Button click on 'K' popups a menu where I can switch
between both modes, the order by name and the order by description.
