Kickoff traditionally prefers showing the application comment (ie. "File Manager", "Web Browser", etc) over the actual application name. This allows to find applications this way.
Details
- searched for "File manager", found Dolphin
- searched for "drop-down", found Yakuake
- searched for "Browser", got Chrome and Firefox (though default applications KCM or whatever this is called came topmost because /names/ have higher priority)

I'm pretty sure I remember a conversation with Vishesh where he deliberately didn't do this because the results then look utterly random as you can't see the comment.

I changed it so the comment is shown at least when the item is currently selected in the list [1] as it often provides useful information, not just for telling apart similar entries (as the old logic did).

Big +1, both showing and being able to search in the description is crucial especially for newer users who have not memorized the often entirely arbitrary application names.
