            Bug ID: 416087
           Summary: You must be able to replace the standard search
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Standard search Baloo, very long stands still. And users increasingly need to
resort to other file search methods. Especially when it comes to hidden files
or folders.
Can I add the ability to replace the standard search with KFind?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and go to "~/".
2. Open a search and find "baloofilerc".
3. Congratulations, you did not find this file.
4. Install KFind.
5. Find "baloofilerc".
6. Congratulations, you found this file in "~/.config/baloofilerc".


OBSERVED RESULT
It is not possible to find hidden files and folders, or files that are not in
the Baloo index.


EXPECTED RESULT
Make it possible to integrate KFind into the Dolphin interface.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: -
macOS: -
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.17
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In fact, file indexing is only useful for KRunner. In order to be able to
quickly access files.

Using Baloo to find files is not a good idea. Since this greatly limits the
search logic itself:
- I can’t look for hidden resources.
- I can not search on network resources.
- If the file is not in the index, I will not find it.
- If the resource is disabled in the settings for indexing, I will not be able
to search in this resource.
