But it's not something I was looking for. Would be a nice option (perhaps activated on a separate keystroke; ALT-Space = regular launcher; CTL-Space = launcher + search) to have handy, though.

I just want to know if there is any functional difference comparing to Launchy and Colibri. The ultimate killer app I think is a Launchy/Colibri interface with Windows Desktop Search. Currently I think Windows Desktop Search is doing good on full text searching capability (i am talking about the latest one 3.01, forget about the past :P, this one is so far so good, as it also handles my Outlook 2007 data) However launching application is extremely stupid inside WDS, so I wonder if there is a good mix. Colibri does googling too which makes it a quite interesting app (I am not saying its useful though, as the speed of launching google there is longer than I turn on my Firefox and launch google there) Thanks for your link.
