I think there was a plasma desktop version that changed how the search works. Ever since this happened, the results that really matter are not being displayed first, which makes the navigation slower and counterintuitive.

first thing I do after a fresh plasma install is open plasma search and turn off everything except apps and settings (and remap krunner to open on single meta press). appreciate there may be use cases that need comprehensive file system search, but so far I haven't needed it ever.
