KFind

There is a filenamesearch ioslave which is used by Dolphin' search for
non indexed and remote paths.
But I agree with you that Dolphin's search is not a full replacement for
KFind, because a lot of adjustable search options are missing.
I hope it will change in future, because Vishesh has some nice ideas to
improve
the search experience in Dolphin (we had a short talk about that at
Akademy) ;)

Does such a small application really need a dedicated maintainer?

Cheers,
