Description
When one starts Synaptics manager it takes a long time to be available for use (I am using 1.7GHz Dualcore/1GB RAM!!!).
After that we have to click on "Search" and then type what we want. But most of the time when starting Synaptic the first thing you want is to search for something.
So I suggest that "Search" should not depend on a click to show it's input text bar but rather it could show a large bar at the top with focus as it fires up, so we may start typing as soon as we see the program running.
After one search is complete it should focus the search box back so we search again without our tired mouse.

Just to mention it. You can also use ctrl+f which pops up / focuses the search field in many applications. Very fast an convenient for me.
