Description

Previously, I was using Listary, and when I wanted to search for Windows Terminal (located at D:/Tools/terminal/wt.exe), typing wt.exe or just wt would immediately show it as the first item in the list.

However, in Flow Launcher, I encountered the following issues:

  1. If Everything is not enabled, I cannot find wt.exe at all.
  2. The MRU algorithm seems problematic. I have to type wt.exe multiple times before it appears as the first item.
  3. As shown in the screenshot, when I only type wt, Flow Launcher shows many items that are ranked lower than wt.exe, but wt.exe does not appear at all.

Desired Improvements:

  1. Be able to find wt.exe even without enabling Everything.
  2. Improve the updating and accuracy of the MRU algorithm.

Best Regards.

Since you are trying to find an exe file, the program plugin should handle it.

  • You can either set that specific result as the top result for that query using alt+9

  • Or, try including that dir in the program plugin

Thank you, Although I still find sorting algorithms a bit counterintuitive, it works as expected now :)
