I was waiting for something like this (translate, thought about writing, and then realized someone without 2 kids and a mortgage will beat me to it) after getting the infamous dumb search and being forced to install go launcher / use gensture search. This is actually what I was missing for my galaxy s III to save it from being replaced with an iPhone 5 (ok, google maps is an added argument, but this is was beaten to death already). Thank you, and please say no to any acqui hire attempts from Google (and get a good lawyer in case Apple sue you for violating omni search patents).

Glad to save you from a switch to iPhone! Yeah, the Google offerings just don't do what I want in a launcher app. I feel like I did something right because I ended up using the app all the time; it's pretty much my interface for my phone at this point.
Just like ctrl+3 in eclipse, command space in a Mac, win key in Windows. Find stuff by text is by far faster than anything else I can think of
