How the search results look like when searching for 'info'.
|
Created attachment 186958 [details] How the search results look like when searching for 'info'. SUMMARY The search results order in the start menu (Kickoff Application Launcher) could be better. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install the MediaInfo and Hardinfo2 programs. 2. Open the start menu (Kickoff Application Launcher). 3. Type: info or Info (to search for the Info Center). 4. Look at how the search results are ordered. OBSERVED RESULT The search results are ordered like in the attached printscreen. Without the 'Info Center' being the first one so I cannot just press Enter after search to open it. EXPECTED RESULT I expected a better ordering for the search results, with the one that I was looking for at the top, so I could just press Enter to open it. I expected that that the results are ordered by this priority: 1. Exact match info -> info (an item called just info). 2. Exact match, but case-insensitive (an item called both info and Info or with other letter upper or lower case). 3. Starts (from left to right) with info (like infoCenter, infoProgram). 4. Starts (from left to right with case-insesintive info (like InfoCenter, infoProgram). 5. Starts (from left to right) with info, but is followed by a space (like info Center, info Program). 6. Starts (from left to right with case-insensitive info (like Info Center, info Program). 7. Anywhere in the string, but first the ones that have info after a space or uppercased first (like Media info or MediaInfo). 8. Anywhere in the programs's name. 9. Anywhere in the program's comment. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. I have also trying to increase the precision a bit by using the exact case, so searching for 'Info' instead of 'info', but the same thing happens, the: MediaInfo Hardinfo2 Come before the 'Info Center'. 2. I tried to look o for the other word (center) and other strange thing happen as I get them like this: Mission Center Info Center Help Center Welcome Center Why is Mission Center before Info Center? Why when both are equal priority like in this case as both have center in them, both have it with uppercase first letter, the alphabetic order is not considered for higher priority? Or the fact that Info Center is a KDE + Qt program, natively installed for Debian (.deb), unlike Mission Center a non-KDE program, written in GTK and installed non-natively with Flatpak?
