Is there a way to search a menu bar in Gnome?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I want to search my menu bar, to easily find obscure menu items.
I know that the HUD (Heads Up Display) in Unity has this feature, however I am running Gnome 3 on Debian 7.
Is there a way to do this on my system?

@AlexejMagura No, Sorry, What I meant was searching the menus of a program not searching for the program itself.

Sadly, no. The gnome shell doesn't include such characteristics as Unity. There were some projects like Synapse to make this possible in any desktop environment but it's dead. There's also Conky and Gnome-do but it functionality can be lacking.

I recommend you try mate-hud.
https://bitbucket.org/ubuntu-mate/mate-hud
It is based on Rofi and works like a charm for me on Ubuntu MATE.
