Search results on top

Open jbhoot opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

GNOME Search by default searches with several contexts. The results of this extension appear at the bottom, thus forcing me to type more, which sort of kills the goal of this wonderful utility.

I don't want to disable other contexts, as I find them useful (eg., files and folders).

Is there a way to put the results on the top? Alternatively, even better option would be a keyboard shortcut that launches the GNOME Search within the context of this extension only. I don't know if this is possible though.

I have same problem, it is really hard to push arrow-down button many times. But I found a way to partially fix it: Go to Settings->Search-> disable all and re-enable them back. Now all Documents/Files/Software search providers are beneath our Window Search Provider: screenshot from 2018-04-18 11-28-22 But as you can see application search provider is still above us. But it is still much better to push arrow-down once, and even better if you name your windows so that they does not in intersect with app names.
