Was there any discussion about including keywords such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint?
Unfortunately, many users seem to be used to the Microsoft jargon. So one may search for Excel when wanting to use a spreadsheet. In fact, Word is not necessary because it is already in the "GenericName" entry (as "Word Processor"), so Writer will appear if one search for "Word". The problem remains for Excel and PowerPoint. However, "excel" is a common noun, so adding it should be fine. And for PowerPoint, why not adding "point" and "power" (in this order if you prefer) ? These are both common nouns and users should just have to type the firsts letters (such as "pow") before finding Impress, so it should be enough.

One may ask Average Joe to "create a slideshow", so "slide" should find Impress. Of course, you could find many more potential keywords (and this is even more useful in some other languages). So, please add a "keywords" section in libreoffice-*.desktop files.
