Spotlight Search #2397

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The problem is inherit to any app-based interface. Navigating from app to app to get information is slow and clunky, even with a simple and efficient launcher like Niagra.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd love to see the concept of mac's "spotlight search" implemented, which gives the functionality of searching for apps, contacts, web, files, calculations, etc from one search bar. We see an android iteration of this on the Pixel launcher.

The functionality of such a search is the optimal tool for simplicity. It would allow users to query many sources across the device from a single interface, as opposed to having to navigate from app to app for find information.

I imagine the niagra button being able to be programmed to launch the search, or having the already existing niagra app search expandable to having spotlight function. I have a feeling the app seach is a function that is used a lot (a least by me), so it'd be handy to have the option to arrange the order in which spotlight results appear.

Anyways, I don't mean to overstep and tell you how to do your job, but I just wanted to fully share this vision. It's not a groundbreaking new feature, but it would be the ultimate tool for efficient and simple navigation in the best app launcher there is.
