I think there was a plasma desktop version that changed how the search works. Ever since this happened, the results that really matter are not being displayed first, which makes the navigation slower and counterintuitive.

Well the picture looks descriptive right? Searching for Bluetooth shouldn't show first some random folder, it should prioritize the settings section. I reckon in general when there's an app with the name being searched it should show before random folders as a general rule.

It unfortunately isn't. It looks exactly as I would expect.

You prioritise it another way, which is fine. Just don't make the assumption everybody thinks like you do.

It looks like you're looking to customise order of search results. That's a feature you can suggest. I find files first very useful as it what I search for more often than settings, so I would have a different customisation.

@onlinepersona @iturnedintoanewt It would be most effective if you'd take your own advice - If *I* am searching through the start menu, *I* will be looking for applications first, files second and random directories absolutely last.

I'm not the one complaining, Mr "SKG is trash". I have a preference, but have no need for changes nor am I saying something's wrong.

@onlinepersona "Just don’t make the assumption everybody thinks like you do." <-- just by saying that, you have made the exact same assumption and are requesting (nay, demanding) that status quo is kept. 🤷‍♂️
