Bug ID: 357985
Summary: [rfe] improve application search results
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Menu (Kicker)
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Currently there seems to be no algorithm to smartly reorder search results. If
you search for some string the first matching application will be displayed,
not the best match.
Gnome-shell activities overview does these (I think):
1. order "trailing matches" before in-name matches
2. remember frequently used applications and give them a higher priority
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open application search
2. type something
3. look at results
4. select application to run (mouse or keyboard)
Actual Results:
When searching for "tor", "Designeditor" is placed first, "Tor Browser" is
placed on ~8th position.
This doesn't change even when I repeat those steps above.
Expected Results:
When searching for "tor", "Tor Browser" is the best match and should be placed
first.
When repeatedly searching and choosing one application, this application should
be displayed first. With this I don't need to use mouse or arrow keys to select
the application I want to start.
