--- Comment #15 from Prajna Sariputra <[email protected]> ---
VSCode's upstream .desktop file indeed doesn't have the "code" keyword
(https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/resources/linux/code.desktop),
but after adjusting the .desktop file I have for it to match upstream and
patching my system (running Plasma 6.5.1) with
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/5950 it now
appears above Discover and Kate when searching for "code", and it also fixes
the "gimp", "cmd" and "term" cases for me.

Searching for "ter", while it doesn't put Konsole on top it does put a bunch of
apps which have "ter" in the name above Konsole (like LibreOffice Writer, Info
Center, Help Center etc) which I think makes sense at least (certainly better
than Steam showing up lol).

Searching for "notific" brings up KCalc first, but I suspect that's just
because the only "Notifications" thing I have is from System Settings, and
that's a different plugin ranked below Applications in the search plugins list
in my case so that makes sense to me as well.

The only issue I can find with the search results at this point is that if I
search for "vsco" I end up with only Discover as the result and VSCode not
showing up at all despite the "vscode" keyword, but I'm guessing this is
intentional to avoid minor partial keyword matches flooding the results since
applications can have lots of keywords, and editing the .desktop file to have
the string "VSCode" in the GenericName section is enough to make it appear
above Discover so it's a simple enough fix on my end, plus I don't think I've
seen anyone complain about searching for "vsco" being broken anyway lol.

All in all, I'm quite happy with the search results after that patch, thanks
for the hard work!
