[kde-linux] KDE File Search

I have just updated from KDE 4.5.5 to 4.6.5. All running nice and 
smooth, but I miss one thing - an old-fashioned file search dialog, like 
I used to get from Dolphin Tools Menu. Here I could enter partial 
filenames, contents data and properties (size, date etc). This appears 
to have disappeared and been replaced with a panel which is accessed 
from the Dolphin edit menu (eh? I'm not editing anything, just looking 
for stuff) which is more limited and (to me) not very intuitive. Is 
there a find-file utility somewhere else in the KDE collection which 
lets you do filesearch the old fashioned way?

Thanks for any pointers
