I am searching for a way to type a keyword in the start menu Search programs and files field and that it will return the application that match the keyword.

An example will better explain this:

Suppose that I want to start the powershell. Currently what I can type in the search field is

power

and the first item that appear is the 64bits powershell shortcut.

Now suppose that I'd like ps to return powershell as the first item of the search list. Currently, typing ps return all files with the .ps extension, alongs with a control panel options about recording steps but not the powershell executable itself.

How can I do that?
