[SOLVED] Where is "Search"?

[MoonRise]

Since going to 4.6 then to 4.6.1 I've notice I have no search function in the menu any more. This is what I used over FIND as it seems reliant on Nepomuk and Akonadi; both of which I find being resource hogs. I have those disabled and yes the following will sound odd if FIND is truly dependent on those two. When using FIND I can't seem to choose to refine that "search" by "file create" or such. I would hate to do this but would re-enabling those help that in FIND or does FIND just not have any "refinement" options? If it has no way to refine its "FIND" how can I do a normal search as before? Am I overlooking it?

Open Dolphin and press CTRL+F ?

Nope. that brings up the strigi/nepomuk serch bar.

You have to run the original application that was used for 'regular' search: kfind

just type it in the kmenu's search or alt-f2.

I know the strigi/nepomuk search is a hog on slower systems, but man if you can use it, it is sooooo much faster than kfind once the drive is indexed.

Thanks Claydoh! That's it. My system is more than able to handle it but I do a lot of graphics, programming and gaming and Nepomuk/Akonadi doesn't play nice with those (at least with me anyway). Plus it could be I am stuck in my ways on a few things and Search being one of those few things.

I don't use Nepomuk/Strigi myself, It's the first thing I turn off after installing kubuntu I always use locate or krusader search function to find files. I highly recommend you to install krusader, you'll love it!

Thanks! Also happened to click on your SIG and saw you have the How To for disabling those two things! Great!
