Bug ID: 501309
Summary: Need to scroll for the relevant search result: Better
strategy for search result's view needed
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Menu (Kicker) widget

Screenshot of Kicker: by default the widget is smaller (red line)
If you search for something in Kicker you are presented results for different
subsections, e. g. "files" and "applications".
If I search for "gtk4-demo", I get 10 results for random flatpak runtimes in
the "files" subsection and at the very bottom the desired "application"
gtk4-demo.
There are several possible solutions to improve the situation:
1) Always use a bigger Kicker widget, so that all results fit into the view -
not so convenient
2) The results per subsection become limited to e.g. 5 instead of 10, with the
possibility to expand.
(Don't know if it's already limited?)
3) Push search result items, which are more often opened/used to the top, give
them more weight: both within subsections and for subsections themselves
4) Order the list by application first as those are likely less in number than
files
5) ... more ideas?
