I just tried typing “photo” into the KDE Plasma Launcher, and it offered 
four candidate matches: “GIMP” (of course), “Document Scanner”, “Cheese” 
(webcam) and “Gwenview” (image viewer).

So this is a common function across Linux GUIs. And the information used 
to implement the matching is not specific to any particular GUI 
environment.
