Use Google Quick Search Box.  They've fixed all the weird indexing problems and performance issues, apparently on my system (Snow Leopard).  Now this does presume the Modern User can type and remember the name of the app.  Note that android and iphone/pad have search built in for finding apps.

BTW: Yet another gmail problem is that several gmail users, when I get their email in a mail client, show the text in a tiny font .. and show various parts like the sig, in a larger font.  I have no idea what's up but its common, and I believe unique to gmail.  Looks fine in the gmail WUI.
