Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #313212, revision 1 Title: add menu tree in kickoff menu search Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the kickoff menu, there is a search window allowing to find an application known by it's name. But this search box do not allow to know where this application is located in the menu tree. It's probably easy, as the menu entry is found, to display the hole path in the menu tree. Use Case: Install dvdstyler. Do not know where it's located in the menu tree. Do not find in in /multimedia/editing. type dvds in the search box, see "dvdstyler" and can leunch it from there, but if was shown the exact place (multimedia/writer/dvstyler), could more easily find it nex time Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: makes it easier to understand a meny tree sometime unfriendly -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313212
