Is there a way to change the order of or otherwise affect the "main" activity overview search results?

(Gnome 50/Resolute)

I am aware that I can change the search provider ordering. What I am asking about are the results e.g. pictured below ("LibreOffice", "Power", and "Suspend"), which I am calling the "main" results, for lack of a proper term:

Activities Overview search results for "sus"

This screenshot also depicts the use case: In past versions, "Suspend" was the first result for "sus", meaning five keystokes (super-s-u-s-enter) to suspend. However, I am now seeing two extra results ahead of "Suspend" (no idea what in "LibreOffice" is matching, by the way), so now I have to take my fingers off the home row and press ➡️➡️ before enter. Champagne problems, I know, but I'd still like to know if there's a way to change the ordering or maybe blacklist certain applications for certain search terms. Is there?

Relatedly, I've read but not confirmed that gnome tracks selection frequency (or more likely frecency, not sure) and reorders results, so I should expect to see "Suspend" bubble up to the top after a few uses, but that hasn't yet happened.



Top Answer/Comment:

Comment: I think that search results are displayed in the order of search providers first. The system commands are not represented in the "Search Results" order, and are always displayed last. You could create your own launcher to suspend, which will more likely rank earlier. Anyway, strange that in your case also Power appears, and even stranger, LibreOffice, for "sus". I cannot reproduce that.
