Hey friends!

Basically, here is my problem. I open the launcher menu (or KRunner) and start typing. Let’s say I type “firefox”, and hit Enter.

The launcher menu is very slow. It often opens “Files” instead, because that pops up after I type the first two letters.

Basically this means I need to wait a second for the launcher to finish searching, show me firefox, and then press enter.

This is frankly infuriating. Every other launcher on any other desktop or WM does not have this issue.

I have experienced this on two different machines running both Plasma 5 and 6, on different distros, both are beefy machines.

I’m sure there is a way to avoid it, does anybody know?

    Well if I type “discord” then “discover” is an incorrect result, imo.

      Is this an actual example?

      Here the search is so quick, that on “dis” is already has results. But then the delay to search again is too high.

        Yes, actual example.

        I followed the advice of another user and disabled some of the search options and its super fast now and should probably fix my issue. I still went ahead and reported this as a bug though
