            Bug ID: 442898
           Summary: [Feature request] Show all indexed file search results
           Product: krunner
           Version: 5.22.90
          Platform: unspecified

SUMMARY

Use case:

I have a folder full of MATLAB files (.m), Mathematica files (.nb) and IPython
notebooks (.ipynb) from my work. The problem is, KRunner only shows certain
types of files (Documents, Images, etc) so I can't see these files from
KRunner.

Using command line "baloosearch xxx" (which is the indexing backend KRunner is
using) and Dolphin search found these files instantly, but KRunner just cannot
show them.

I wish there is a way to show all file search results in KRunner, not limited
by the preset categories (similar to what GNOME currently does).

Thank you!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a IPython notebook file in your indexed directory.
2. Type its name in KRunner

OBSERVED RESULT
File not show up in the results

EXPECTED RESULT
File showed up in the result

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Maybe it is possible to add one more category ("others", for example) and send
the unmatched items to that category? Sorry if this suggestion sounds stupid
from a non-programmer.
