Searching in the Application Launcher sometimes doesn't search actual applications. Especially not newly installed applications (maybe it's not indexing .desktop files correctly?) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install an application 2. Search in the application launcher for that application OBSERVED RESULT The application is not found, unless it's an exact match for the command. But it's clearly not using the .desktop file EXPECTED RESULT Applications, with their appropriate .desktop fields like the icon, to show up when fuzzy searching SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel 6.6.3-arch1-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have the "Applications" plugin enabled in "Plasma Search" settings.
Created attachment 163952 [details] Search not matching when searching for spectacle
Created attachment 163953 [details] Showing application does exist (it's also how I took the screenshots)
Have you created these desktop files manually? If so, did you remember to run `kbuildsycoca6` afterwards?
No I didn't create them. I just install the apps via pacman
Do you have the kde-inotify-survey package installed? If not, can you install it, reboot, install an app, and see if it shows a system notification telling you you're low on inotify watches or instances? If it does, that's the problem.
