Description Gergely HORVÁTH 2024-08-26 17:32:04 UTC
Ways to reproduce:
- install Itinerary (or any other application)
- open a website in a browser that contains that applications name (e.g: https://apps.kde.org/itinerary/)
- open overview
- type "itinerary"

Result:
- the browser tab is focused/showed

Expected result:
- focus/show the browser tab but also list the application search result 

I'm not sure if it is intentional or, where this list should fit on the overview but I hope it can be worked out. I know a lot of options is undesirable but it may also work to have an option to always show the search results or not.

This is indeed intentional at the moment. It may be changed in the future though, if anyone can figure out a decent UI for representing this. So far no one has been able to come up with one that's implementable.

Thanks for the reply Nate! You mentioned that "So far no one has been able to come up with one that's implementable." It suggest that there was a conversation about it. Can you maybe link that conversation if it happened on a public, written channel? Thanks in advance!

There was a KWin merge request; IIRC it got closed so it should be in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/?scope=all&state=closed somewhere.

Thanks for the hint! There are multiple results in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/?scope=all&state=closed&search=overview the following one seems to be the most comprehensive: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/4955

I include it here for the record. Also, it has been suggested and I can confirm that it works: pressing spacebar twice removes all the windows from the search results, yet the KRunner search will work. This assumes that window search is not fuzzy, yet KRunner search is.
