Welcome Sergejs,

As Alexander said, I'm also interested in a better kfind, but couldn't had the 
right combination of sphere time and motivation much :(. Regarding the work 
in kdenonbeta/kfind-revisited I'd coded a new UI once. You can get it from 
here: http://cekirdek.uludag.org.tr/~baris/tmp/kfind/. If you like the idea, 
you can work on porting it to kfind-revisited base, with the acceptance of 
Alexander I suppose.

best regards,
