Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2023-01-19 20:42:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
The portal-based "open with" dialog does not search all apps unless I tell it to. This is annoying, if I e.g. want to open something in "okteta", I type "Okteta" and it finds nothing because it only filters the visible list of apps.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "Open with"
2. Type "Okteta"

OBSERVED RESULT
"No matches"

EXPECTED RESULT
"Okteta" is displayed

Yeah, maybe we can automatically show all apps if nothing matches.

appchooserdialog: show all apps while searching

When you search, it's probably because what you want isn't visible among
the small set of filtered apps. In this case, if we don't search through
everything, it's annoying. So let's automatically show all apps when the
user starts searching so it searches through all of them.
FIXED-IN: 5.27.1
