Search results for "term"

The fuzzy searching is quite horrific in my case where I have *many*
applications installed (due to having the `kde-applications-meta` package among
others), so the search results in some cases end up being almost comical.

For example, this is what I get if I type "cmd" with 6.5.0 (which in 6.4.5 just
brings up Konsole since its .desktop file has "cmd" as a keyword, and none of
these other apps have those three letters in that order anywhere in their
respective names, descriptions or .desktop files):
- Picmi (Logic Game, from KDE)
- Visual Studio Code (VSCode, I made this .desktop file using KMenuEdit)
- KSpaceDuel (Space Arcade Game, from KDE)
- CMake (Cross-platform buildsystem, part of the `cmake` package on Arch Linux)
- Qrca (Barcode Scanner, from KDE)
- Bomber (Arcade Bombing Game, from KDE)
- Kate (Advanced Text Editor, from KDE)
- KAppTemplate (App Code Template Generator, from KDE)
- Audex (CDDA Ripping, from KDE)
- Konsole (the actual result I want, so far down KRunner doesn't even show it
in the list lmao)

Searching for "ter" or even "term" to get Konsole is even worse, I actually
have to either scroll or make Kickoff/the application launcher taller to find
Konsole, with these apps coming up for "term" (see the attached screenshot for
proof):
- Steam
- System Monitor
- Welcome Center
- System Settings
- Info Center
- ghostwriter
- Help Center
- KSystemLog
- KAppTemplate
- PIM Data Exporter
- ISO Image Writer
- LibreOffice Writer
- Konsole (finally!)

I've also found a couple of posts/threads online talking about this issue as
well:
