  I meant, go through the *whole* list until you find/recognize "This is
the one!". So don't jump to the apps starting with 'n' (for 'notes').

  For example one of my first ones is "Acapela TTS Voices", so if I
don't remember the 'Acapela' bit and start looking at the 'T' (for TTS,
Text-To-Speech), I won't find/see it.
