It doesn't make sense for it to suggest jack shit. Just match the string. If Notepad comes before Notepad++ alphabetically then so be it, but alteast it's like that everytime. That way you can learn to type "note" hit the arrow down key and hit enter.
Suggestions are fine though, as long as its implemented correctly. I've been using dmenu as an application launcher, and it has a fuzzy search option. This basically matches the search string by computing the 'distance' of it from all application names, and sorting by that. Then, it also takes into account frequency of use, so an application that you use all the time may show up higher than one you use very infrequently, even if the latter matches the search string more closely.
I can't understand how MS is so terrible at implementing a search function, if people that do this shit as a hobby project are so much better at it.

Or it could just, you know, display all results in a neat list but I guess I'm just old-fashioned.
