Description S. Burmeister 2011-04-24 10:53:20 UTC
Created attachment 59271 [details]
file whose content is not found

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

If I go to /home/user/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ I see a .desktop file which has as content: X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=Google Inc.

So I press CTRL+F and enter "plugin". The search is set to "from here" and "content" already. Dolphin does not show the file as a result. It only finds: "nsplugin.desktop" and the folder "qimageioplugins".

.desktop file attached.

Nepomuk disabled. Happened again after restarting dolphin.

Reproducible: Always

Can you still reproduce the problem? I can't in Dolphin 4.11.1.
Comment 3 kkoksvik 2014-09-27 07:25:50 UTC
Platform Version 4.14.0 on Arch

This is reproducible in 4.14.

It does not look like the search feature includes ".hidden files or folders", no matter if show hidden files is selected. This I feel is rather unfortunate. At least because of the words used in the option chooser.
The question becomes what a user understands by "Any" filename is hidden files included in this term or not?

Proposed solution:
1. When "Show hidden files" is selected include hidden files in "Any" filename definition.
2. When "Show hidden files" is selected add selection for Filename type "Any(+Hidden)"
