--- Comment #7 from cwo <christoph.w...@gmx.de> --- > I don't get it. If it shows nothing for 2 letters because the search result > is not good, why does it show result for 1 letter, which is even shorter? It does show a search result for two letters. Try it, type "Do" and you'll see Dolphin. "Ka" finds Kate. It only searches for things that *start* with these two letters though (or where a keyword starts with two letters, and I think it may be only applications and system settings pages, not also files and windows etc., but I'm not quite sure off the top of my head what exactly the parameters are). Many entries have lots of keywords that are there so people can find things under different names; searching everything with two letters already would often give so many results that it wouldn't be possible to select the correct one, and would likely appear to be just as incomprehensible to users as not finding anything. > In my opinion, > the better option is just order the results by the frequency.

As far as I know, krunner is already supposed to use frequency as one of the things to take into account; in any case, that would be a separate bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
