I've been experiencing the same issue a while back after migrating from Fedora 33 to 35 and it went away after some fiddling. Now I'm experiencing it again on a different machine (NixOS / Plasma 5.23.3) but with a comparable KDE setup. Switching to an alternative component (Application Dashboard/Application Launcher) does not help, they also return 0 result for any search (not only snap/flatpacks as the duplicate suggests). I think I've figured out how to reproduce: - Change KRunner's configuration to disable all plugins except Windows - Switch Application Menu to one of it's alternative And to fix it: - Enable "Applications" back in KRunner's plugins - Switch to an alternative again (doesn't matter which) If the relation between KRunner and the Application Menu (and its alternative) is intended it should probably be explicit

Confirming that if "Applications" is disabled in KRunner's plugins then Search in Application Menu fails. Also found that a logout/login works as an alternative to "Switch to an alternative again (doesn't matter which)"
