Search in application menus/dashboard is pretty erratic and illogical, i run wrong applications many times.
Example:
When I enter ‘c’ I see: chrashed processes viewer, calculator
when i enter “ch” : there is nothing displayed !
when I add next letter ‘r’ so “chr” : google chrome, KDE connect
why there was no chrome when I entered only “c” or “ch” ??
other example, when I enter “cod” or “code”: Kate is on the first place! and visual studio code on the second !! WHY ?? I have to use extra arrow to select VSCode ….
when I enter “mo” I can see mouse
when I add “u”, so “mou” together: there is no mouse app anymore ! only solaar

Last time it was discussed was here, I think…
There’s a fix in the works, so hang in.
Here’s that bug:
So meantime, type slowly and pay attention - I’ve had all kinds of surprise popups and random actions out of this bug.
