Sorting Unity 3D Search Results

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 587 / 2 Years ago, wed, november 24, 2021, 4:21:44

When I hit the "Windows Key" and search for an application, the order is always incorrect (imo).

As a very simple example, I'll search for "calc".

Searching for Calc

The default Ubuntu calculator is 3rd from the left (next to the Calc widget and Libre Office Calc). I noticed this the first time and assumed the order would adjust upon usage. Not so. I NEVER use the Calc widget and only rarely use Libre Office Calc, but I use gcalctool (Ubuntu's "calculator") almost every day. But it still comes up 3rd every time.

Is there any way to sort these results according to usage?

In my search thus far, I've found no answer, except the link JohanSJA offered in his comment on the OP, which claims it as a feature.

Unsorted search results are completely useless. Imagine if google didn't sort your results, or stackoverflow, or any software with a search function. There would be no use in searching. Search without relevancy sorting is an incomplete feature.

I'm marking this as my answer, but only because there are currently no answers to the problem. I will change it should a better answer arise.
