Please, reconsider and address this issue.
A lot of people are not expecting current behavior and many of them consider it
to be a bug. Important bug. The behavior of search in Krusader and ANY other
file manager is different and better.

Please also take into account, that it can easily lead to user DATA LOSS. I had
these situations multiple times myself in real life, so it is not far-fetched
at all:

1. User opens directory and check there it has no valuable files with
sub-string "foobar" using dolphin search.
2. User deletes directory expecting it to lack valuable files.
3. The files where in path like: `subdir/.local/foobar`. Dolphin removes them.

Why would dolphin remove files that it kind of does not see them? Obviously
ignoring "hidden" files during removal would be not a good idea, why would
anyone consider ignoring them during search to be a good idea in the first
place? Especially when Show hidden files is on.

Awesome Nate Graham and other guys, please, reconsider, address this issue and
make Dolphin even better and once again reliable (currently search is not
reliable). Maybe search provider that does not search properly should be opt-in
instead of being irreplaceable opt-nothing.  Thanks a lot!
