But unfortunately the requests keep coming in, and there are use cases that Baloo doesn't work for (e.g. on external disks), so there does seem to be a need, or at least a desire. And we do already have this accessible from the search panel, so this is basically just a shortcut to that. I'll give this patch a fair shake.</p></div>

<p>I am unsure whether <em>"basis that people should just use the built-in Baloo-based search instead.</em>" is a good enough justification for many people.</p>
<p>Note that the KFind-toolbar-button - in 1 click distance - is hugely superior from a usability perspective to a menu entry in <strong>2 click distance</strong>!</p>
<p>Having to set up KFind if, say, catfish-search was hypothetically the preset, with KFind on offer only in a secondary settings menu in 3+ click distance, would be a chore escaping 90+ % of users in my estimation.</p>
<p>That fact that Dolphin now has two <strong>separate</strong> configuration menus (one of the two made for search tools only) may not be 100% ideal from a usability perspective.</p>
<p>But the KFind button is a huge improvement, and I don't mean "huge" in the Trumpian sense. see also : <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395255#c3" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">KFind on right-click</a></p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R318 Dolphin</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D22594">https://phabricator.kde.org/D22594</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>pdabrowski, Dolphin, ngraham, elvisangelaccio<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>firef, broulik, pkloc, kfm-devel, kde-doc-english, waitquietly, azyx, nikolaik, pberestov, iasensio, aprcela, fprice, gennad, fbampaloukas, alexde, Codezela, feverfew, meven, spoorun, navarromorales, ngraham, andrebarros, skadinna, emmanuelp, rdieter, mikesomov<br /></div>
