Mate menu (Linux Mint 17) searches files when pressing enter - can this be changed? Example: I press Supper button: menu opens. I write "fir": it shows Firefox, just like any launcher. I press Enter, it starts searching the whole system for files named "fir". I can avoid this by pressing down-arrow before Enter but I find this behavior odd and want to change it.

It was a bug that should be fixed by now.

It is yet present in Linux Mint 17.3, but was fixed in LM Mate 18 (here: " _In mintmenu, pressing Enter after a search now launches the application placed at the top_."), just like in Ubuntu Mate 16.04, which comes with `mate-menu` version 5.7.1.
