[Bug 1754819] Re: Using Gnome Settings' search tool works for some but not all items located under top-level menu categories
Jeremy, it seems that this issue has already been reported upstream, but the issue has been closed and I don't yet know how to reopen it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/1 I'd edit the desktop.in.in files directly myself, but am a newcomer to the process for doing so. Any pointers to how-to's, etc? Also, on the issue of Gnome having two upstream bugtrackers, I note that according to the following link: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/DevelopmentInfrastructure/ ... they say that their plan is "Shortly after the new solution (Gitlab) is setup, disable issue reporting in Bugzilla (as well as new accounts, milestones, etc)." So I guess we can just use Gitlab for issues going forward.

Jeremy, Daniel, Thanks for your replies. As per Daniel's suggestion, I've run apport, & have updated the bug title and description. I'll also lodge a bug report upstream as Jeremy suggests, and report back with a bug number. Jeremy, you've suggested that there are potentially multiple bugs here - I'm not sure I agree with this. I hope that by amending the bug description that I've summed up the over-arching issue, and that filing a bug report for each instance of the issue wouldn't be necessary. Please let me know your thoughts on this. With this in mind, I disagree with Daniel's assertion that the main issue in this bug report has already been fixed.

** Description changed: (As seen in the latest daily build of 32bit Ubuntu Budgie) - See attached screenshot. Searching within settings is currently not very - useful / intuitive, as it only finds results at the level of top-level - menu entries / categories, but not the items within them. + See attached screenshot. Searching within settings is currently not as + useful / intuitive as it could be, as it finds results for some items + located within the top-level menu entries / categories, but not all + items. - As an example, searching for "uni" brings up Universal Access, but the - same search tool produces nothing when searching for items within the - Universal Access category (e.g. "contrast", "screen", "cursor", etc). + Being able to find all menu sub-items from the search tool without having to pore through individual menus is the ideal outcome, and is my intention in raising this bug report - the individual examples below are merely instances of this broader pattern.
