No ... automatic search of the current directory is generally considered bad practice (a security issue due to the risk of running trojans).
You need to explicitly add '.' to your PATH if you think you never make that sort of mistake and want things in the current directory to be found automatically, but I prefer to avoid the risk and type 'openapp ./appname' if I know I want the version in the current directory.
