Gnome search only showing one result per application (original) (raw)

March 14, 2025, 10:58am 1

When searching items using gnome search, it used to show at least 3 results per application. But now it only shows one. This leaves a lot of empty space, and I can’t easily get to the result I need.
Example, I want the € character (I know I can get it from my keyboard but that is not the point). If I search euro, the actual character is the second result. But I can only see the first, so I need to open the character application and copy it from there.
Obviously this is not a big hassle, but it is annoying because it wasn’t necessary before and only showing one result leave so much open space.

Is there an option or something I can change to show multiple results again, or is this intended behaviour?

Please specify distro / GNOME version.

The default behavior in gnome-shell is to show up to 5 items, but it looks you are using a modified version. Try disabling all extensions and restart your session.

You are totally right, it was the Just perfection extension, which literally included this option. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that, my apologies for not checking that before posting!
