After you hit Start, just start typing the name of the app you want to run. You don't need to hunt for it in the menu.
Don't worry if there isn't a text box to type into, or if the text box at the top of the menu isn't selected. You don't need to click on it, just start typing. This has worked ever since Windows 7 (or maybe Vista).

And offer a streamlined mode for applications where you just need a quick response where the application doesn't open a new window but just provides a response in the same invocation-dialogue. Maybe apps could even take modifiers or specifications when invoked, so you don't have to hunt and peck around in menus and additional dialogues after launch. Maybe there's a place for this?
