Review of "Lightning Search Launcher" version 9

Details Page Preview

A fast, minimal search launcher for GNOME, inspired by Spotlight. Search applications and files, evaluate calculations, open URLs or web searches, and run terminal commands from a single search box. Clipboard: activating a calculation result copies it to the clipboard, and Ctrl + C on a file or folder result copies it to the clipboard. The extension never reads or shares clipboard data. Commands: when the first word of a query is an executable on your PATH, a result is offered to run it in the terminal. Ranking: among similar matches, the results you open most often are listed first. This is counted in a local file and never leaves your machine.
