Is this possible? I know that applications are shown first and to search files, you add a space. However, I’d way prefer a simplified app-only results list, unless I start a search with a space.

For example:

“Word” should show me only apps that have the term “word” in their title  
" Word" should show files/folders that have the term “word” in their title

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your feedback.

I’ll consider changing this for the Launch Apps hotkey. It’s an extra hotkey you can set in Options - Hotkeys. In a future version, if you activate Listary using this hotkey, you may get only app search results. The default behavior for the main hotkey Ctrl-Ctrl will not be changed however.
