I wanted to insall some new software via the muon discover tool. The expected work flow to start muon was: 1. click k-menu icon 2. start typing "software" 3. click "Muon-Discover" to start it The problem here was in point 2. I was not able to find muon with this search string nor with "installieren". Instead i have to search for "programm" in oder to find it. This could be a german specific issue. So it would be nice if muon could be found via various search terms sucha as "software", "install", "packet" and "programm". There was a bug like this wich has been fixed (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288092) but it seems that it will not work anymory.
I had found that the previously applied fix maybe has been done wrong or something has changed in the mean time. The corresponding muon-discover.desktop file contains the "Keywords[de]=" line but the keywords have been seperated by a ",". Other keyword enties have a ";" seperator. So i changed the ","'s to ";"'s for the de-entry and relogged in. Now i can find muon with searching for "software". Maybe this is the fix. While discovering this i had found that i had to search exactly for "software" to find it. Which is irritating casue while typing the word "software" i get some results which does not contain muon.
Correct, some translations use coma (,) instead of semi-colon for some reason (;).
(In reply to Aleix Pol from comment #2) > Correct, some translations use coma (,) instead of semi-colon for some > reason (;). Muons developers use comma as well ;-) muon.desktop: X-KDE-Keywords=program,software,repository,archive,package,install,remove,update,deb And I never get a hit for "Muon-Discover", no matter if I have comma or semicolon as separator in Keywords[de] in muon-discover.desktop

Nice that this is going to be fixed. Wouldn't it be wise to fix the other languages as well? I also like to have a tip about the search behaviour with keyword-fractions. Is the search mechanism intended to find muon with parts of the keywords?
