Screenshot of the result I am getting (.png)

SUMMARY
I often type 2 of the first letters of what I am searching for and the search engine broke for some of them but not all of them (works with "li" for "Libre office" for example).
Whenever I tried to search for "s", all of my apllications shows up ("System Settiings", "Steam"...) but when I add an "e" and search for "se", their aren't any results and then if I add a "t" ("set"), "System Settiings" and others shows up. It's the same for "ho" with "Home" and maybe more key letter combinations.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the "Applicaion Launcher" (Kickoff).
2. Search for "se".

OBSERVED RESULT
- No result are displayed.

EXPECTED RESULT
- "System Settiings" and other aplications, commands... should be displayed.
