How can I launch some android application by name on android device? Like in Linux, I pressed alt+f2 and typed name of application. May be it is some alternate launcher.

you can press the search, and type the name of the application there.– RaunakOct 25, 2011 at 21:04

Yes, but it's dirty search for running only applications.– YarikRockOct 25, 2011 at 21:10

I found the filters in search widget. It works. Thank you, everybody.– YarikRockOct 25, 2011 at 21:20

Gesture Search will do something similar. It finds apps, contacts, bookmarks and music tracks.

+1 this is nice, I wish there would be a app indexing all these items, but let you search via keyboard instead of gestures?– HauserJan 11, 2012 at 0:08
The home launcher Go Launcher Ex gives you a search field for this, type in first letters and it will show matching apps. But it only lists apps, no music tracks or bookmarks.
It really depends what you mean applications in android are usually run using something similar to com.company.theirapp so you would need a "hashmap" for example which relates the application name to the actual apk name.
