Quicksilver [0] and Alfred [1] are versatile search/launchers for macOS, combining aspects of Spotlight, Launchpad, Finder, and a CLI. You hit a trigger key combination, and you're presented with an app that can interact via keystrokes (generally not mouse actions) with all your other apps and docs, contacts, photos, music, clipboard history, etc. These can involve plugins and workflows that manipulate text, create calendar events or reminders, etc.

I always do a double take when I see the term QuckSilver[2].... the dBase III compiler from the 80s.
