Description Tamás Králl 2024-06-27 17:09:34 UTC

SUMMARY
In System Settings, searching for 'colorblind' and similar variations doesn't bring up the 'Colorblindness Correction' desktop effect. On the other hand, searching for 'shake cursor' does bring up 'Desktop Effects' as an option in the search menu, even though it no longer has its settings there.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. search for 'colorblind' or 'shake cursor' in System Settings

OBSERVED RESULT
'Colorblindness Correction' isn't given as a recommendation when searching for 'colorblind'
'Desktop Effects' is given as a recommendation when searching for 'shake cursor'

EXPECTED RESULT
The search term 'colorblind' should lead to the 'Colorblindness Correction' desktop effect.
The search term 'shake cursor shouldn't lead to the 'Desktop Effects' KCM

The shake cursor effect search result has been addressed already, see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488850

Can confirm the issue with searching colorblind though.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2024-06-27 19:06:59 UTC

Can also reproduce. Wanna add the keyword? It needs to go here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/kcms/effects/kcm_kwin_effects.json?ref_type=heads#L101

Add Colorblindness Correction effect keywords

This allows to easily reach this effect when searching in system settings.

Comment 5 Tamás Králl 2025-04-05 11:37:42 UTC

Looks like on the current Neon Unstable this once again doesn't work. I've searched "colorblind" in System Settings and there's no result. "blind" on its own works, however. I'll reopen this report.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2025-04-08 17:19:53 UTC

Aha, this happened because we moved it to the Accessibility KCM but forgot to migrate the keywords. Will fix.

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2025-04-08 17:24:25 UTC

Hmm actually I do see the keywords in there: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/master/kcms/access/kcm_access.json?ref_type=heads#L153

Yet they aren't showing up in a search. How odd. Could be a subtle internal issue in KRunner itself.

Comment 8 Tamás Králl 2025-04-08 17:53:45 UTC

I checked the commit you linked and "colorblind" as is (without a space in the middle) is not on the list of keywords. So that might be the problem..

Though "color blindness" is on the list, so if the search system didn't take spaces into account (I'm not familiar with its mechanism), then "colorblind" should've given the result I expected.

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2025-04-09 18:54:20 UTC

Can't reproduce today; I think I accidentally fixed it with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/fec3e3f9d1880da2e1f3e7847706f3c418939aef.
