Created attachment 161257 [details] Incomplete search result SUMMARY Since around 5.27 KRunner and Kickoff do not provide relevant results when searching some Gnome's application by its binary name, like 'disks' -- meaning 'gnome-disks', or 'virt' -- meaning 'virt-manager', until you enter a full name of app's executable, e.g. 'gnome-disks', but even then search results won't show a proper icon of the application, just a gear next to the text like 'Run %executable_name%'. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Switch language to something other than English (and probably even non-West-European) 2. Open Kickoff, start typing some Gnome app's exec name you might have installed 3. See 0 hits or completely not what you have expected OBSERVED RESULT Irrelevant search results EXPECTED RESULT Entries of apps with that typed string present in the filename of their binaries SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux latest possible (Unstable) KDE Plasma Version: 5.57.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This happens to systems where English is NOT the default language. When searching using person's native language (e.g. 'диски' meaning 'gnome-disks'), one sees expected search result with right app on top of the list.
Created attachment 161258 [details] Proper search result This result is correct but one need to use native keyboard layout in order to get to it.
>Since around 5.27 KRunner and Kickoff do not provide relevant results when searching some Gnome's application by its binary name We removed reading the exec, because it provided too many false positives.
Indeed, but I think Bug 467924 would help your use case though; marking as a duplicate of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 467924 ***
