SUMMARY

    Context: when I hit the meta key (Windows logo), the application launcher menu is displayed. As
    it annoys me, I wanted to remove that shortcut. It's not in the application launcher parameters so
    I went to the system settings shortcuts configuration.

    In the keyboard shortcuts configuration section, one can search for applications and actions to
    configure their shortcuts. But a shortcut itself cannot be searched for.

    Of course, by trying possible appliications, one can narrow the (visual) search but it's fastidious.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Shortcuts configuration of the Keyboard section in SystemSettings
2. Type "Meta" in the search bar


OBSERVED RESULT

    Some strange behavior occurs:
    - No search result in the right pane (a mix of unrelated stuff)
    - the application pane displays all applications
    - when clearing the search bar a (random ?) application shortcuts are displayed


EXPECTED RESULT

    All of the system application actions that have "meta" (or better : that have _only_ "meta") in their
    shortcuts should be displayed and only their shortcuts containing "meta" (or the only one having
    only "meta").

This is exactly what happens.

When you type "Meta" the application list is filtered to include applications that have shortcuts (or default shortcuts) that include meta. Their shortcuts are also filtered in the same way

Argl... Why did it not work until this morning ? I don't think it's a PEBCAK since I tried several keywords... And it even supports case insensitive  :(
My bad.
