I think the Kickoff search uses KRunner plugins, so maybe it could display the same list for allowed plugins as KRunner itself (maybe blacklist some, if there are technical reasons). This wish may be somehow related to this one - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353998 (In reply to Alexander Mentyu from comment #2) > This wish may be somehow related to this one - > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353998 It's related, but not the same specific issue. I'm simply saying that myself (and I'm sure other users) would like the choice of specifically filtering which results show up when searching from Kickoff. I could care less for my web browser bookmarks to show, but I search my documents OFTEN so I don't have to go scouring through my folders to get to them. *** Bug 389146 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 390023 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 398859 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 405623 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 407765 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 16eddf0503ba8e4b5129f966fbf45694bde17667 by Nate Graham. Committed on 22/06/2019 at 16:34. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'Plasma/5.16'. [Kickoff/Dash] Show Calculator and Unit Converter runners Summary: The Calculator and Unit Converter runners are some of the most useful and productivity-boosting runners, yet they don't show up in Kicker/Kickoff/Dash right now, only in KRunner. This patch makes them show up in Kickoff and Dash, increasing discoverability and productivity for regular users who are less likely to know about KRunner's standalone UI. Kicker is excluded because its search UI was not designed for multiple runners and that needs to be fixed first (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389146) Test Plan: {F6923047} {F6923046} Reviewers: #vdg, #plasma, hein, filipf Reviewed By: #vdg, #plasma, hein, filipf Subscribers: plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21983 M +2 -1 applets/kicker/package/contents/ui/main.qml M +1 -1 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/SearchView.qml https://commits.kde.org/plasma-desktop/16eddf0503ba8e4b5129f966fbf45694bde17667 (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) > Git commit 16eddf0503ba8e4b5129f966fbf45694bde17667 by Nate Graham. > Committed on 22/06/2019 at 16:34. > Pushed by ngraham into branch 'Plasma/5.16'. > > [Kickoff/Dash] Show Calculator and Unit Converter runners > > Summary: > The Calculator and Unit Converter runners are some of the most useful and > productivity-boosting runners, yet they don't show up in Kicker/Kickoff/Dash > right now, only in KRunner. > > This patch makes them show up in Kickoff and Dash, increasing discoverability > and productivity for regular users who are less likely to know about > KRunner's > standalone UI. > > Kicker is excluded because its search UI was not designed for multiple > runners > and that needs to be fixed first > (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389146) > > Test Plan: > {F6923047} > {F6923046} > > Reviewers: #vdg, #plasma, hein, filipf > > Reviewed By: #vdg, #plasma, hein, filipf > > Subscribers: plasma-devel > > Tags: #plasma > > Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21983 > > M +2 -1 applets/kicker/package/contents/ui/main.qml > M +1 -1 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/SearchView.qml > > https://commits.kde.org/plasma-desktop/ > 16eddf0503ba8e4b5129f966fbf45694bde17667 Will this also resolve my original issue to separate the "Expand search to bookmarks, files and emails" option in the Kickoff settings so users can specify or filter which results they would like to see? No, the bug is not fully fixed yet. That's why it's not closed yet. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #11) > No, the bug is not fully fixed yet. That's why it's not closed yet. Ah, I understand. Thanks for your reply and update. You guys rock! Thank you very much for the kind words! :) Kickoff's set of KRunner Runners is now controlled by the same chooser in System Settings that controls KRunner itself. The two are now in sync! |
Created attachment 106874 [details] Application Launcher (Kickoff) settings as it currently is in 5.10.4 BEHAVIOR When I press the Super key and begin typing a search string, if the "Expand search to bookmarks, files and emails" checkbox is checked, the sear listing will show the results from my files, emails and bookmarks. I SELDOM want to search my bookmarks, but OFTEN search my files from the kickoff search field, and having to sort through the clutter of my bookmarks and emails when I only want it to list my files is very bothersome. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR For their to be individual checkboxes in the Kickoff settings for "Expand search to files", "Expand search to bookmars", "Expand search to emails", letting the user pick what they would like to filter in their search results.
