GNOME does this out of the box. It's possible to add this to e.g. StumpWM, i3 or AwesomeWM too.
Similar functionality is available in emacs with Helm: search through all callable functions by just typing a few characters.

Emacs does this, with yank-pop (M-y); Helm turns this into helm-show-kill-ring, which offers extremely convenient searchability.
I really can't recommend emacs highly enough: it's everything one could want in an operating environment.
- keithpeter 10y agodmenu from suckless-tools springs to mind as well, but, as you say the 'hit-windows-key-type-part-of-name-or-function' facility is a native part of Gnome Shell (default DE with Fedora). Whisker-menu for XFCE4 can be bound to windows key (Mod4). In KDE 4.14, you can bind a chord such as Windows-key-space or some other letter to bring up the application launcher.
