You can do the same with SuSE..

If she needs an application, but has no idea what it's name is, she 
opens up YAST2, selects the install/remove software icon, selects the 
search option, selects what she wants to search in:

Name, Summary, description, provides, requires

Select search mode:

contains, begins with, exact match, use wildcards, use reg ex.

Seems to me that's going to be a lot easier for a newbie.
