has been released.
"The KDE Community is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate for KDE 4.0. This release candidate marks that the majority of the components of KDE 4.0 are now approaching release quality. While the final bits of Plasma, the brand new desktop shell and panel in KDE 4, are falling into place, the KDE community decided to publish a first release candidate for the KDE 4.0 Desktop. Release Candidate 1 is the first preview of KDE 4.0 which is suitable for general use and discovering the improvements that have taken place all over the KDE codebase. The KDE Development Platform, comprising the basis for developing KDE applications, is frozen and is now of release quality." You want see Plasma panel?

So in other words you know absolutely nothing about how the incremental search works, and yet you feel you should complain about it. Awesome.
You're not searching the thousands of programs on your machine, you're searching the start menu items. The search is incremental, and often you don't need more than two keys or so. It searches descriptions, so you don't even need to know the name of applications, just what they do. The old system was there because it was copied from windows, not because anyone had done any work on proving it was fast.
