I tried to reproduce those out of curiosity for a couple of minutes without much effort and I immediately saw that I have about 40% of those...
But the other 60% seem weird and my menu refused to behave like that. Maybe thats just luck, maybe it depends on version and distro. idk.
Very interesting and detailed post regardless.
What distro? I was on Kubuntu 25.10. Did you record it? It's hard to see in real time.
arch
no
I found it pretty easy to see with thedynamic examples. It flashed "no result" for a second before showing a result for example, happened, especially the first time when searching something after a fresh boot.
For a static example - what the fuck is this result ordering? What do any of those apps except keepass have to do with "ke"?

I find it is absolutely insane and deranged UX that the results where the app name STARTS with the entered substring are not at the top of the list.
