Search for everything
Hit the windows key to bring up the panel/search. Type "term" and it finds the terminal app. Hit enter.

Well ...
I can't help your keyboard. But as for searching for everything, the bigger my local storage gets the harder time I have remembering where everything is. As long as I can remember what it's called, it comes up. Windows does it, Mac does it, Unity does it.
Sure, you can find a hierarchy on each if you really want it. But you know what? Most of what I need most of the time is easier to get to by hitting the hotkey and typing the first few letters.

Muchas...
multi-terabytes of junk now a day.
"locate" seems to work for me.

locate is great, provided that you can find a terminal :-)

Its that funny looking key...
You know the one with Curvy Window "pains" on it.
Or the "OPTION" key...
Depending on you Keyboard slant, or how old it is... if ti doesn't have a "Curvy Windows Pain" logo on it... yikes it old.
