Bug 250043

Version:           4.3 (using KDE 4.3.5) 
OS:                Linux

KickOff App Launcher's seach facility is great but as far as I can see, it doesn't say where in the menu structure the application is, so users are consigned to using search every time, or manually trawling the menu to see where it is. The search results must summarise where the app can be found (even if it appears in multiple categories), then next time the user can find it. 

It is often the case that application writers have a different view about where to install their app, than I'd expect. I've just installed TuxPaint for my daughter and it shows up in Edutainment/Drawing Program (Art&Culture). I'd certainly expect it to be in Edutainment but I'd really like it in the Graphics/Image Editing category as well or at least. Search was of no assistance  finding TuxPaint, so I could copy it to my preferred category.

As usual, with these usability issues, I'd describe this as a defect, not a design enhancement, as the primary use case is unachievable - finding and launching an app and understanding where it is, so it can be navigated to and launched directly in future. (just finding an app to launch it is not the primary use case - or shouldn't be)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Search for an application and see how much location information it provides

Actual Results:  
no information provided

Expected Results:  
Menu location(s) for the found applications provided in a compact form. Perhaps expanding on rollover or suchlike, if neccessary.
