SUMMARY I often type `kdec` when trying to launch KDE Connect. I see no reason why the search should disregard that search term completely just because I forgot the whitespace. Deranking it to the last position is fine, but disregarding it completely is not. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type `kdec` in the Application Launcher OBSERVED RESULT Nothing appears in the launcher EXPECTED RESULT KDE Connect should show up SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.93.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.249.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0
> I see no reason why the search should disregard that search term completely just because I forgot the whitespace Because the search wasn't implemented that way. :) There are trade-offs do doing what you want. If we disregard whitespace, the result will be more items matching the search text, and then we'll get different complaints about excessive numbers of matches and bad matches showing up first. So I don't think we can do this as as requested, sorry. An actionable way to accomplish this is to add "kdeconnect" as a keyword for whatever thing you do want to find. That's feasible, targeted, and appropriate. Feel free to submit a merge request for something like that! And thanks for your understanding.
