Description Rohan Garg 2015-05-14 13:17:29 UTC 
I use krunner alot to open local files, such as ~/Movies , however, krunner seems to prefer files that have the term '~' in them instead of the location ~/Movies in the result index. This causes fun issues such as opening a book when I instead wanted to watch a Movie.

Would it be possible to detect when a string is a local location and rank it highest?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a file which has the term ~/Movies in it
2. Have a Location ~/Movies
3. Search for ~/Movies

Actual Results:  
The file is ranked the highest

Expected Results:  
The folder ~/Movies is ranked highest

I think this would be a good change, moved to wishlist as it's not a bug.

Do not show duplicate results from location and baloo runner
FIXED-IN: 5.21

If the file path is an exact match the location runner will
display a match, we do not want to duplicate that in baloo.
