Summary of the new feature/enhancement

I primarily use launchers to open (known) apps. As such, I don't need to know if it's a Win32 application, if it's a running process, et cetera. Similar to Spotlight, I would like as little detail to be returned as possible. An application's icon, along with its name is all I need.

Additionally, I would like to be able to adjust the screen size of both the Launcher itself, as well as the returned results.

Should the roadmap for Run include returning results from extra sources (dictionary, calculator, web, etc), I would like those to be selectable as well, so that I have as little clutter as possible.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

  1. Add an option to the PowerToys application where users can select the level of detail they want returned in their PowerToys Run search results. Probably through several checkboxes. This should instant reflect in the Launcher search results UI and persist.

  2. Add a preference option where one is able to set the font and UI size of the Launcher and its results pane.

  3. Add a preference option to enable or disable currently supported source types. I.e. I don't need to find every single file on disk through Launcher. I primarily just want it to index apps from my Start Menu.

Yes, font size and search box position would be great. The font is too large for me at the moment.
