Why is the search worse?

Which results “matter”? This isn’t a helpful post. You aren’t describing what existed before, what you expect, what qualifies as good, and what qualifies as bad. You just say “it’s bad”.

If I walked into you house and said “your fridge is worse”, I imagine you would be puzzled too.

Well the picture looks descriptive right? Searching for Bluetooth shouldn’t show first some random folder, it should prioritize the settings section. I reckon in general when there’s an app with the name being searched it should show before random folders as a general rule.

It unfortunately isn’t. It looks exactly as I would expect.

You prioritise it another way, which is fine. Just don’t make the assumption everybody thinks like you do.

It looks like you’re looking to customise order of search results. That’s a feature you can suggest. I find files first very useful as it what I search for more often than settings, so I would have a different customisation.

So…you think…the start menu by default…should be used for searching folders? Am I getting this right?

And why not? The feature is right there.

If @[email protected] wants to use it like that, that is their prerogative.

Please check I wrote ‘by default’. By default, a new user is going to want to find its existing settings when typing ‘settings’, not a random configuration folder named ‘settings’. I’m all in for KDE configuration and adjusting it to do whatever you want it to. Hell that’s the main advantage of KDE. But by default, and for a new user just landing here, the ‘start’ menu should be to ‘start’ apps.

Why would it be a good idea to encourage new users to modify configuration files?
There's a well designed System Settings GUI which does all manner of modifications...
