I'm still surprised by how bad searching is in MacOS (piefed-media.feddit.online)

Searching for "safari" does not show the Safari application in any of the visible results. I'm about 95% sure that, in previous versions, if any applications were an exact match for your search term, those would show up first.

It's so bad. I was trying to bring up the system prefs for the keyboard, and it wasn't even visible because there were all kinds of other things, including the more deeply nested accessibility -> keyboard settings.

    Yeah! I've run into that, too. "keyboard" does not show the keyboard settings, and "security" does not show the security settings. And I know that they did in an earlier version; I used those all the time.

    edit: OK, now it actually does, but it still sucks.

    1. It's not the first item in the list.
    2. At first it shows a bunch of files that have "security" in their path name, then the Privacy & Security setting pops in about a second later.
    3. It shows up... twice? They are the third and fourth options and they are the same thing. Those both go to the same place.
