Ubuntu's Unity had that. IDK about Gnome, but users are saying that the search options for it are a joke. With Ubuntu's Dash you could search even in menu items from a running application.

I wonder if anyone can brink Unity back to Trisquel...

EDIT: not Dash, but HUD.

I'm a CWM (calm window manager) guy, but the Dash concept is not that far to my usage in CWM:

win key+a = launch software with autocomplete win key+s = search between the open windows

And so on, but searching in the menus (and maybe semantically with sinonyms) it's superior to anything else, and no LLM it's required.
