Description Unknown 2016-02-01 18:37:40 UTC
Currently there doesn't seem to be a way setting to change the search results like there is in Krunner with Plasma Search.

Recommend a similar way to change search results: enable/disable showing bookmarks, documents, etc.

Reproducible: Always




Tested on KDE Plasma 5.5.4 on Antergos (Arch) Linux x64.
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2016-02-01 18:43:16 UTC
Makes sense.

Kicker (the other launcher) has a single entry "expand search results to bookmarks, files and emails". 

At the least we should unify the launchers, though full seclection might be better
Comment 2 Unknown 2016-02-01 18:44:13 UTC
Appreciate the consideration, David. :)
Comment 3 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-02-01 18:45:40 UTC
I'd see bringing our launchers up to par as the first priority (can this perhaps also be shared on a technical level?). Further expanding the feature could come later.
Comment 4 David Edmundson 2016-02-01 19:09:49 UTC
Ack. On it.

Also I've noticed that it *is* possible to change the runners not in the UI by settings
runners=services,places,shell,bookmarks,recentdocuments,locations,baloosearch

in your ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc on the kickoff applet

there's just no uI at present
