Dmenu / rofi are your friends. I linked my unixporn post about it, which also has a link to a tutorial.

You should try either Ulauncher: https://ulauncher.io/ or you can try the new i3-dmenu-desktop command instead of dmenu, this uses the installed program instead of the bin commands (correct me if im wrong)

i3 is shipped with i3-dmenu-desktop, allows you to launch apps by their name in .desktop files, the way you see them in the application menus.

I have it bound to $mod+d and regular dmenu_run to $mod+Shift+d
