Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages the krunner doesn't guess give very good search results. doing an Alt+f2 and typing "ksys" return only ksystemlog. What happened to ksysguard? Searching in the k-menu returns ksysguard. and autocompleting in a shell does as well.
Confirmed. ksysguard is not found, though it should
Idem for "Las" it didn't find "Last.fm" until we enter the full Last.fm name.
Confirming for 4.2 Beta 1
Confirming for 4.2 Beta 2
I don't know how krunner works exactly but I think it looks for the "Name" value of .dekstop files. Since the Name value of ksysguard is "System Monitor", you can run ksysguard but only by typping "System Mo..." in krunner. Another test case is System Setting. In krunner : - system settings => works - systemsettings => doesn't work
Just to explain this funky behaviour: Each runner can have a different policy regarding partial matches, so this is not really a general krunner issue. Some runners (e.g. the command line runner) disregard partial matches, some others do not (e.g. the Application runner aka Service runner). So to run "ksysguard" you have either to type it completely (to trigger the command line runner match) or to start typing "System monitor".
