[Bug] Application Search does not work

[NetBender]

Application Search does not work. I've upgraded from v8.29.0 (where it worked) to v9 but now it does not find any program. Downgrading to v8.29.0 makes it work again.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

0. Have the Application Search extension enabled
1. Show Ueli
2. Type the name of an installed program
3. See nothing listed

Expected behavior To have a list of matching shortcuts found in the set folders

Environment

• OS: Windows
• Ueli version: 9.0.0

Back to keypirinha for me, too much hassle, I'll go back to it when it's really stable

Can you open the Settings and go to the "Debug" tab to see if there are any logs that might be helpful? If so, can you share the logs?

Note that the settings from v8 are not compatible with v9. This means, if you have custom settings in v8, you need to apply them manually in v9.

@oliverschwendener I have the same issue, the "Debug" is complaining about one of my programs installed, something about icons i think. For context, I've been using ueli for years before v9 with the following program installed without issue.

Thanks for the tips. I had encountered the issue and went back to 8.9 while following this topic.

I have unsintalled 8.9 and installed again 9.0. Going to the debug as suggested, I have several complaints, mostly about the "-bit" in 32-bit and 64-bit in the path or name.

PS: I'm having trouble to paste the debug notes without git reformatiing/breaking all of it. So, I only have the first entry, but most are similar. I also had to escape the "+" of the debug log to avoid it being converted to bullet points
