- Sure but you still gotta wait half a second for the filter to update or you'll still open the wrong map. I do the same typing "discor" only to open Discover every damn time.
Lmao i get the same whenever i wanna launch discord. Even if you do Discor it'll show discover first for a second so youll launch it twice before learning to wait :)
- Just search "ord"
  
  nks
You can try changing the order in KDE's menu editor. Or if you don't need the firewall entry, remove it, again in the menu editor.
- It's already way below Firefox, so I don't think that changes search order. I'll probably end up removing it if there's no other way. Far form ideal, though.
  
  you cab change the srarch results for last used or more used app{ications, this gonna put firefox first
Being not in alphabetical order triggers me. But I know it’s search results so it shouldn’t be technically lol. Is it based on usage or simply something they overlooked? I gotta imagine usage would increase Firefox’s rating. But if they don’t track your usage how would they know?
- I feel like it can't be usage, because I launch Firefox all the time. Unless it's something weird like launching the firewall daemon on system startup counting towards KRunner's statistic..? I just don't know what factors go into deciding that order.
- it seems like a general preference to system settings, even after ranking applications higher
Its a new feature in KDE 6, are you using KDE 6?
- It's* a new feature
  
  Actually both work in my opinion.
  
  Its (possessive) a new feature (implied of KDE).
  
  It's (it is) a new feature.
  
  its no tits
  
  Sadge. :(
- Yes, do you know what the setting is called?
  
  Plasma search likely. It is a global thing also used in KRunner to my knowledge
  
  Try invoking krunner then clicking the settings icon next to the search bar, it should be there
In my experience, at least with krunner, it would autosort after a while of selecting Firefox.
If you use it that often, why not just pin it to the taskbar or a keyboard shortcut?
- It's in my panel, sure. But sometimes I launch things from the menu too. It depends on what's natural in the moment.
Unrelated to your question but which firewall app do you use?
- Looks like ufw
- The configurator is called firewall-config, but it's configuring a daemon called firewalld. It think it's from Redhat. Comes standard with Fedora and OpenSuse, among others.
Maybe it puts KDE applications first?

Like the firewall thing, might be plasma firewall settings.
You can favorite applications in Plasma Search settings
