--- Comment #11 from Metal450 <metal450 at gmail.com> ---
Just spent half an hour pulling my hair out trying to figure out why search
didn't work properly.  Turns out the files I was looking for were within a
hidden folder. I have Baloo disabled, as no need to expend system resources,
storage, & ssd wear to make searches slightly faster.

If it's difficult to integrate i.e kfind or an alternative better-working
search implementation directly into the Dolphin UI, is it at least possible to
remap the Ctrl+F hotkey in Dolphin to launch kfind (in a separate window),
rather than showing the Baloo search bar?  Remapping the ctrl+f key is obvious
(Settings->Configure Keyboard Shortcuts), but I don't see an option to map it
to launching an external application (kfind).  And mapping Ctrl+F globally
doesn't work, as it would get in the way of the search hotkey in other
applications.
