The Menu Search pop-up lets you search Blender’s interface for a certain operator and execute it. First narrow down the list by typing (part of) the operator’s name, then either click the operator with LMB, or navigate to it with Down and Up and activate it with Return.

Apart from the operator names, the pop-up also shows the menus where they’re located.

Edit ‣ Operator Search

When Developer Extras are activated, the Operator Search can be accessed from the Edit menu in the Topbar. This menu searches all Operators within Blender, even if they are not exposed in a menu. This is useful for Python developers for testing purposes. Blender might also include a few advanced operators that are not exposed in a menu and can only be accessed via this search menu.
