Description m1vri31c 2024-06-05 03:21:26 UTC
SUMMARY
Plasma 6 has introduced the ability to reorder search results by plugin. Unfortunately this is made near-useless by the fact that certain categories of files are not able to be sorted and appear above your top categories. For example, I put Applications first in my Favorite Plugins, but since I index my home folder any time I search for an app it comes up with application config files first.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sort anything above File Search and make a file with the name of the thing you want to search with a different plugin.
2. Search for that file

OBSERVED RESULT
The file appears first in the list instead of the plugin sorted to the top of Favorite Plugins

EXPECTED RESULT
Either those categories of "Documents", "Images", "Folders" etc. are sorted as instructed by placement of File Search plugin in in Favorite Plugins, or they can appear as Available Plugins to be ordered themselves.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

This seems like a bug; if you put something above the files category, file results should be below them.
