Description
Some issues in the placeholder of the web search:
- "messages" is mentioned twice, is this because it comes once from Mail and once from Talk? @ChristophWurst @nickvergessen (but Mail also puts in "mails" so I guess not)
- Talk takes 2 spots with both "messages" and "conversations" – let’s only mention one so the other apps get space too ;) @nickvergessen
- "apps" comes first even though it’s the least important one
- Normal words which are not app names are capitalized
Let’s instead:
- Sort it, with the currently open app always in front
- Write sentence case
- Put "apps" at the end
So for example, in Files it would be:
Search files, messages, mails, contacts, events, settings, apps, …
And in Mail it would ideally instead move "mails" to the front:
Search mails, files, messages, contacts, events, settings, apps, …

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the web search placeholder entry point in the frontend. Check the current app and search-term ordering, then verify that the active app comes first, wording uses sentence case, duplicate Talk terms are removed, and apps appears last as shown in the issue examples.
