  I like the idea and in my personal opinion it should behave as you suggest, but before implementing it I want to be sure not to break other patterns people may use. In particular, the text box can have different autocompletion mode selected by the user, among which dropdown completion. This requires the use of the down arrow key, implementing your idea will break this behavior. Is it tolerable?
  
  > - Pre-select the top result in the list of found results so that you can immediately hit the return key to select that application
  
  I think this can be implemented independently of the previous point. We select the first result, and hitting enter will use that result even if the focus is still in the textbox. So no matter wether we decide to implement point 1, this should work.
