Description Ignacio Serantes 2011-02-14 15:53:48 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

In KDE 4.5 when you write a search in nepomuk's input box there was an aide with tips about query syntax.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Write a query in new nepomuksearch input box.

Actual Results:  
No aide system.

Expected Results:  
An aide system similar to KDE 4.5

For aide I refer to autocompletion.
Comment 2 Sebastian Trueg 2011-03-01 09:26:15 UTC
This is actually something that had been implemented in Dolphin.
However, a proper generic query editor with auto completion would be great. That is also why there is a GSOC project idea[1] which I hope we can get realized for KDE 4.7.

But the previous one was removed. I must filled a bug in Dolphin so this could be solved in first KDE 4.6 revision or this will not be solved until KDE 4.7 release?

I've reassigned this to Dolphin now. However I'd really appreciate if we could wait until we have a clean solution for this in Nepomuk by the GSOC project (hopefully): The autocompletion in Dolphin was very hacky and not maintainable in the longterm. This means that this bug will stay open at least until 4.7 :-/

Any update regarding this issue? There does not seem to be auto-completion. Also, maybe this should be considered a feature request instead of a bug? (even if the feature was there)

I have no information about how the GSoC turned out, maybe Sebastian can provide some info about that?

> Also, maybe this should be considered a feature request instead of a bug?

Yes, agreed.
