Pretty much every search box I've ever used (e.g. Google web search) treats the search terms as "must be *contained* in the text to match". For example, "trainer" without the quotes, in description-search box, should match "Pronunciation trainer", but doesn't. Adding *'s like in "*trainer*" works, though. Due to this problem at first I thought the product I was looking for was missing and was about to write to a mailing list asking for directions. Only after I thought of trying ctrl+F did I find the product and figured that wildcards were what I was missing at first. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided 2. Write "trainer" without the quotes, in the right search box. Or write "windows" without the quotes, in the left search box. 3. Press Enter.
Confirmed, this is a nice to have, "*" is required and description how to search is on the page.
Created attachment 100917 [details] Search only works for prefixes This isn't a "nice to have" nowadays. It's a key feature and its lack keeps hurting users. I wasted a bunch of time trying to file a bug against plasmashell was was made fun of because I couldn't find the product. See bug 368176 and https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=135101&p=363323#p363306
Regrettably we no longer have a search/filter field on that page (see 455605 which proposes bringing it back), so I'm afraid this bug report is now obsolete.
