We did this intentionally a few releases back (see Bug 399503) because the list of addons was cluttering up the list of apps, and we made the assumption that if you wanted to find an addon, you would navigate to one of the addons page first. Maybe that was a bad assumption.

Maybe that was a bad assumption. There won't be clutter if you list the apps first, then the addons on the bottom of the list.
In fact in testing a reversion of that change, apps are indeed listed first. Seems reasonable.

Git commit 11d79794b58e0852e2da1568bf2babee1d372396 by Nate Graham. Committed on 08/11/2019 at 17:50. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Perform KNS searches from the Featured page again Summary: We previously disabled this in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399503 to improve the relevancy of the search results. However since then, searching has been improved in various other ways. For example, exact title matches are now shown first, and apps are shown before KNS entries. Therefore, it seems reasonable to re-enable KNS searches from the Featured page. FIXED-IN: 5.18.0 Test Plan: Can now find "Fokus" from a search inittated while viewing the Featured page.
