Hi, please keep some context when replying to an email. I can't remember what 
"it" is without re-reading the previous mail.

[Context: substring completion]

KCompletion::substringCompletion in kdelibs/kdeui/util/kcompletion.cpp might 
be what you're looking for.

It calls KCompletion::extractStringsFromNode which iterates over all 
completion nodes, so I guess the answer is no, there is no clever search 
index. But since it's called on a (specific) keypress, this hasn't been a 
problem until now. It might become a problem if it happens during normal 
typing though...
