SUMMARY I originally filed Bug 488841 because I thought the Shake Cursor effect was only togglable from Desktop Effects. I was then directed that the option is under Accessibility, and that I can search for "shake" in System Settings to bring up the Accessibility setting. However, searching for "Shake" or "Shake Cursor" or incomplete variations thereof does not bring up the Accessibility option. Searching for "Shake" or anything after does not bring up accessibility. It simply shows "No items matching your search." This happens on a laptop that was installed with Plasma 6.0.5 and upgraded to Plasma 6.1.0, so it is a very fresh (matter of days) old installation. And the issue also happens on my long-term Plasma installation on my PC, also running Plasma 6.1.0. In other words, this problem happens across two different installations of varying ages. When typing the letters one at a time, ("s, sh, sha, shak, shake" etc) the Accessibility option does not appear at all. So while searching and the entries in the sidebar get filtered, Accessibility is never shown. It is worth noting that searching for "Shake" in KRunner and the Application Launcher *will* bring up the Accessibility option, but *not* when searching in System Settings. However it is equally worth nothing that users can disable System Settings showing up in KRunner (I have this off on my Desktop, but I am still tweaking my laptop settings and this was not disabled yet) and if the user has disabled this, the user would have no way currently to search for Shake Cursor. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings 2. Search for "Shake" 3. The "Accessibility" menu which contains the "Shake Cursor" effect does not show up, it displays "No items matching your search" 4. Searching for "Shake" in KRunner or the Application Launcher OBSERVED RESULT Searching for "Shake" in System Settings does not show the "Accessibility" option on the sidebar, which contains this setting. EXPECTED RESULT Searching for "Shake" in System Settings should show the "Accessibility" option on the sidebar. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.9.5 Linux Zen KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - In case locale is potentially an issue, I am using the en_GB.UTF-8 locale. But I am not sure how this is implemented, so perhaps this is not relevant. - I'm also aware that "Shake Cursor" will not show up in the System Settings side pane when searching for it, that is totally fine, I am reporting that the category which *contains* "Shake Cursor" - that is, the "Accessibility" option - does not show up.
Created attachment 170767 [details] search_works This works for me, see screenshot. I also tried this with your locale. Please add a screenshot of what you seen when searching for "shake". Does searching for other settings work for you?
Works for me too, with en_US. Can reproduce with `LANGUAGE=en_GB systemsettings`, so this is going to end up being a "translation" problem (to the extent you can call en_GB a translation).
This is fixed in Plasma 6.2.0.
