I wanted a launcher that is only search and no icons and opens the keyboard to search by default. Finally found kiss launcher.

This is also tiny (250kb), is open source (is on F-droid), and is super fast. It's great for power users as well as people who want to minimise phone usage.
Everytime you open the phone it asks you what you want to do instead of presenting you with 20 icons, which means you have to type in the app name, which makes it less likely that you'd absent mindedly open apps.
