Created attachment 177194 [details] Order of Plasma Search results in Kickoff STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to Settings > Search > Plasma Search 2. Under "Favorite Plugins", make sure e.g. "Applications" is first (order can be changed by drag&drop) and Apply 3. Open Kickoff App Launcher and start typing the name of an installed appilcation OBSERVED RESULT Desired order of categories of search results from Settings is not observed, in my case: Order in Settings: Applications, System Settings, File Search, Dictionary Order in Kickoff Search: Folders, Images, Text, Files, Documents, Applications, System Settings, Contacts EXPECTED RESULT Actual order of search results matches the one set in Settings for Plasma Search SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I filed this bug specifically for Kickoff (not Plasma Search), because using KRunner, the order is yet a bit different (Folders, Documents, Files, Images, Texts, Apps, System Settings, Contacts), albeit still not respecting the one from Settings.
Hi - I believe, although showing up slightly differently in each location, the Kickoff and KRunner observed results stem from the same general underlying KRunner code (based on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431204), so I'm merging this together with the existing "Search result ordering" bug. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 489866 ***
