I think that all the actions for an application should show up when you
search for it, not just when you search for the particular action. This
is because a user might not know the particular name of the action they
want, instead thy would only know the name of the application.

Bug description:
  There's currently a trend of application developers to provide
  multiple .desktops for their apps in order to get to different parts
  of the app (for example private browsing in a web browser). One
  possible way to fulfill that need without needing multiple .desktops
  littered around would be to have popular search-based launchers also
  search through quicklist items in a .desktop. In this way, power users
  who need quick access to those other functions can have them without
  littering menus or grids with extra icons.

  It's also important to note that many apps already use Quicklist items
  this way (as that's the designed use); adding the ability to search
  them would be an improvement to everyone as it'd expose those
  quicklist items via keyboard rather than requiring users to right-
  click on the launcher item.
