Launcher doesn't find Energy Consumption Statistics when searching for Battery

This is coupled with an extremely annoying bug affecting ThinkPads and causing the battery to randomly become invisible to Ubuntu. [1][2] However, the OS does detect a Logitech mouse, which reports its energy level.

Looks like the fix is to add the "battery" keyword somewhere in the description of the "Energy Consumption Statistics" widget.

Please see the attached screenshot.

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-03-26 02:43:06 UTC 
Can confirm with KRunner as well. The Energy KCM has the "Battery" keyword so it should be found in a search for "battery", but it's not.

P.S. The answer to the question in the screenshot is that you can most easily find that information in the "Battery & Brightness" applet in the System Tray. :)
