If anybody knows which file contains the logic for the kicker search function I will be very grateful to you.
I was trying to debug this issue but I couldn't find out how this search function works I know that it's in the plasma-desktop repository inside the applets/kickoff/ directory but I don't think the search function is there. From what I could read, it uses something called the Krunner.Model Object for the search input (I may be completely wrong as I just learned some QML yesterday and I don't understand most of it). I couldn't find the source of the Krunner.Model in any QML source code fiel in the the plasma-desktop repository. After a lot of searching I found that the C++ file https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/Plasma/6.3/applets/kicker/plugin/runnermodel.h?ref_type=heads implements it. From what I understand it remove the results and initialize it as the text is read from the input, if anyone can verify and correct please do. At present I still don't understand how this is happening if anyone more knowledgeable can help me it would be great.
Some thing to note
- plasmawindowed (link: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/widget/testing/) doesn't reflect this bug
- krunner doesn't reflect this bug
- only desktop widget reflects this bug

I have to reply late as I had stopped checking the bug tracker regularly. As for the bug, I can't check it myself but I'll trust your words.
