            Bug ID: 362345
           Summary: KMenu search highly inaccurate
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: email.xenophon at gmail.com

Searching the KMenu via its search box in Kubuntu Xenial (16.04)  is no longer
very helpful. For example, when I search for "PlayOnLinux" using the search box
and type "pl", I see:

1. Update Manager
2. Discover (Software center)
3. Playonlinux

If I type "Pl" (with a capital P), I don't see any of the above results.

If I type "pla" OR "Pla", I get the same results:

1. Google Earth (3D planet viewer)
2. Update Manager
3. Discover (Software center)
4. ImageMagick (display Q16)
5. Clementine (Clementine Music Player)
6. ImageMagick (display Q16)
7. Amarok (Audio player)
8. PlayOnLinux

(6 is a duplicate entry of 4)

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
This is highly inaccurate especially when considering that PlayOnLInux is
favourited on my system. And shouldn't the search give preference to the
application names rather than their descriptions? And what's with the random
case sensitivity?

This is certainly not how things were in whatever version of KDE I was using in
Kubuntu 15.10. (I can also no longer find out version details for KDE from the
help menu of apps like Konsole.)

Thanks.
