Description Mark 2015-02-07 17:24:57 UTC 
I wanted to disable the screen locker, it's surprisingly difficult to find that one in the system settings if you don't know it's exact name.

For example, if you type: "lock" in the search field then it won't show up.
It will only show up if you start typing "Screen" then "Screen Locking" is in the list.

It looks like the current search method only matches entries that start with the same string as you typed in the search field. I think that should be changed to matching items that _contain_ the keyword, not just begin with it.

Reproducible: Always

Yes, Fuzzy search or Wildcard search indeed makes sense, confirming and assigning to plasma-bugs

"lock" now finds "screen locking".

maybe close bug-report.

Ha, did i report this!
Right, it's apparently fixed a long while ago. Closing.
