Possibility to hide and ignore tags in search?

[sheltpat]

Hi there,
I'm quite happy with KISS since it fits my minimal launcher requirements (and was the only launcher on F-Droid that did and didn't have a memory leak when testing).
I have one issue, though, and I'm not sure if it is a bug or if I should file a feature request.

I'd like an option to completely hide and ignore tags below an app's name in search.

I have disabled every setting I found about tags and even unchecked every tag. I might misunderstand these, but currently the tags still appear.

I guess you'd have to manually remove any currently present tag from each app individually (long-tap in app list).

I don't need tags like "browser", "calls", etc. either and have those removed from respective apps.

The tags setting ("KISS settings" -> "User experience" -> "Show tags") only shows or hides them in the normal app list but won't stop finding a match with search bar text input.

I'm using just one tag ("💬" (text-bubble emoji)) to group phone and messaging apps into a submenu on the favorites bar ("KISS settings" -> "Fovorites" -> "Tags to show in fav bar": 💬) and since I never actively search for this tag via text input it won't show up anywhere except for the always present favorites bar submenu.

Ooh, I did not know about this function.
Thanks, that works for me.

It would probably still be best if they were hidden via a setting to preserve it for users who might be uncertain a out keeping or removing all presets, but removing all once is fine in my case.

I only use KISS in the most barebone sense, that being only for its search.
The tags in my case were a little annoying for when I had a single typo in my usual three letter paradigm and muscle memoried on the single, wrong result. ;)
