This video shows an example of the bug.

SUMMARY
Whenever you try to find long named files on kickoff, it kinda like "twitches" while typing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save a lot of files with similar but different names preferably longer for better result.
2. Use application Launcher (kickoff).
3. Use search to search for something that has a long name (deleting already typed search result bit by bit also causes this issue).

OBSERVED RESULT
Occasionally the search re-filters everything while typing and it does not give a specific result when you type in more text.

EXPECTED RESULT
The more specific the search is, the more narrow search results become.

Do you see the same issue if you search using the default Kickorr widget, or with KRunner (invoked using Alt+Space)? Or is it only here in Kicker?

using Alt+Space (KRunner) and searching the same thing (just like in video) it does the same thing. I don't know if it is significant but it seems to act strange when writing first three letters after spacebar.
