Hi, thank you for your bug report. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce these. Could you share more detailed steps to reproduce this?

What are the letters you entered?

When you go to settings-search-plasma search, which plugins are enabled? Can you try disabling the plugins one by one and see which one triggers the bug?

Thanks!

Thanks for your help. The bug appears when I'm entering any letters, it is not limited to a specific group of letters or numbers. Also, it doesn't accept deleting the first letter that has accepted or any other action such as selecting the text. And disabling all plugins did not help resolve the problem. It seems that there is some infinity loop that the search bar activates.
