Bug ID: 471824
Summary: Search in start menu no longer finds original app
names only localized one
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: michal.dybc...@gmail.com
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I'm not sure if it was introduced in this update or another one. In krunner
pop-up window it works fine. I heard that search in start menu should be equal
to krunner, but it isn't.
When I was looking for Discover in start menu, I was always typing "disco..."
and that was it, the app was found. It is no longer true. Even typing full
"discover" doesn't find it, only when I used localized name, which is
"Odkrywca". I am used to an English name, and the Polish translation of this
name feels weird to me.
Anyway, the regression is that previously search was finding the app by using
English and localized name, now it's only localized. This creates a lot of
issues, for example:i
Someone is looking for an app and finds a site in English. He/she installs the
app, wants to launch it and... it becomes non-findable if there are many apps
on the system. How do we know what localized name is used? The original name
should be sacred and be strongly searchable, no matter what system language you
use.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Plasma in non-English language, preferably in Polish one (the bug may
not be happening on other languages)
2. Have/install Discover
3. Try to search for discover in the start menu or krunner
OBSERVED RESULT
Start menu doesn't find Discover by its English name
EXPECTED RESULT
Start menu should find Discover by its English name as well (as it was
previously).
