Description Ilya Bizyaev 2024-04-21 09:43:56 UTC
SUMMARY
I have KRunner configured with the following modules as favorites, in this order: “KWin”, “Applications”, “Recent files”, “File Search”.
But when I search for “chrome”, it shows all the “Folders”, then “Text documents”, then “Documents”, then “Images”, then “Audio”, then “Files”, then “Archives”, and only then Google Chrome in “Applications”.
Also, when I search for “kwin”, “Launch KWin debug console” is similarly buried under all the file results.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure KRunner as specified above.
2. Do a search for “chrome” or “kwin”.

OBSERVED RESULT
I have to scroll through multiple pages of results before I get to what I need most often.

EXPECTED RESULT
I can just press Enter to launch what I need.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 fanzhuyifan 2024-04-21 16:16:41 UTC
The minimal reproduction example only needs setting filesearch and applications to favorites, and dragging applications before file search. However, file search results are still shown in front.
Comment 2 junkblocker 2024-06-15 04:11:37 UTC
I see even worse behavior. Applications are shown at the end and System Settings are always preferred no matter what.
