Created attachment 158973 [details]
Results when searching for "ca". Not that while something like "Camera" appears, it is near the bottom

SUMMARY
When using the first few letters while searching for a specific Program the search recommendation provides irrelevant results, e.g. the two letters "ca" result in irrelevant recommendations like "Anki" instead of "Calculator".


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
(0. Have Anki installed for specific result)
1. Enter some two letter string into search bar like "ca" or "la"

OBSERVED RESULT
Something without the two letter string like "Anki" is recommended

EXPECTED RESULT
Anything starting with or containing the two letter string like "ca" or "la" is recommended

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Sikaris 22.0.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Some two letter strings like "da" work as expected
Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2023-05-15 13:33:57 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

Please note that Plasma 5.26.5 will not be supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer.

Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

I'm afraid Plasma 5.26.5 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE.
Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. Please update to Plasma 5.27 (LTS) or 6.1.5 as soon as your distro offers it to you. If you need support for Plasma 5.26.5, please contact your distro, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older non-LTS releases.
If this issue is still reproducible in either Plasma 5.27 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.1.5 (the latest released version), feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
