It would show results which have both 'desktop' and 'color'.

Basic search works as intended when users type in as many keywords as possible.
Open up whisker menu today and type just 'a' and nearly everything is listed,
and as show in bug 16628 the search functionality definitely needs improvement,
IMO. But we cant forget that these keywords are to improve both whisker menu
and settings manager (bug 10694) and if i searched for 'font' in settings
manager, having desktop appear is important IMO.
