Huh. The bot was better at searching than me. Duplicate of #31322.

Reopening as a general-scope issue about being limited to two specific URI schemes. I don't see why PT Run should be hard-codedly limited to only steam and epic games URL shortcuts. This should at the very least be configurable.

@htcfreek, do you know why it is limited only to these two protocols?

This eas not explicitly forced. It is by design. We need to decide if it is an application/webpage or not. So we only accept specific shortcuts which is currently apps, webpages and steam.
So we need an enhancement for the plugin code to support/allow these shortcuts.

- Webpages are not allowed. I have a lot of .url shortcuts to webpages, none of which show up as programs. This is only logical, since
https://
shortcuts are not among the two filtered types in the code snippet I linked above. - What other types of .url shortcuts are there that would not be desirable to index? I can't think of any.
My rationale is as follows:
- If there is a shortcut in the Start Menu, it is intended to be handled like a program.
- This applies especially to any custom URI scheme that is not
https://
,file://
or similar. - The Windows Start Menu itself does not differentiate between types of shortcuts at all. For example, here is that same .url shortcut I created in the process documented above, appearing in the Windows Start Menu search.
In my opinion, PT Run should never display less local results than the Start Menu in the default configuration.
Reading up on the history of the filter, URL shortcuts were added to support Steam and Epic Games games specifically. I believe this support should be broadened, and the filter removed or made configurable.
