"Favorite Applications" is an Homerun source which is populated with 
applications marked as favorite by the user. When one types in the "search" 
field, the content of this source is filtered to only show applications 
matching the typed text.

By default, typing in this field also triggers KRunner-based searches, which 
can return results from various runners. One of these runners is 
"Applications": it will return any installed application whose name or 
description matches the typed text.

This explains why if you have KMail in your favorite applications, typing 
"kma" will show KMail in both "Favorite Applications" and "Applications".

PS: Note that I am no longer the maintainer of Homerun. As my knowledge of its 
source code slowlys fade out and becomes obsolete, you may want to ask the new 
maintainer, Eike Hein <hein at kde.org>, for more up-to-date answers.
