<p>Not a great idea since there's no way to know you can search if you start typing; it would be an invisible UI and nobody would ever find it. Even in GNOME where they have this paradigm everywhere, people hate it because it's not discoverable when you want it, and annoying when you accidentally activate it.</p>
<p>I liked your idea of putting a stub in the toolbar that expands to the full width when clicked in.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R116 Plasma Network Management Applet</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D18607">https://phabricator.kde.org/D18607</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>vpilo, VDG, Plasma<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>jgrulich, ngraham, davidedmundson, plasma-devel, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
