Thanks for the bug report. > 3.

Possibly because not everyone can reproduce the problem. Searching without enabled Nepomuk works just fine here. Maybe you can check with the Kubuntu people if something is wrong with their packages? The package that contains Dolphin should also install the file filenamesearch.protocol (on my OpenSuse system, it's in the directory /usr/share/kde4/services/). If it is not installed, you will get the "Invalid Protocol" error. > Also, Dolphin's Find should really show the full paths of found files > without having to look at its properties or open the file in a new tab or > window You can add the "Path" as additional information in any view mode. If you use the default settings, search results should actually be shown in Details View with the "Path" column enabled by default. Closing as DOWNSTREAM because I think that the problem is not a Dolphin bug, but specific to the distribution. Please do not send me support requests by private mail. If you post them in a more appropriate place, it enables other people to see them, and to reply. > Hi Frank! > > >>Dolphin should also install the file >> >>filenamesearch.protocol >> >>(on my OpenSuse system, it's in the directory /usr/share/kde4/services/). > > That file is installed in the same place here but I still get 'Invalid > Protocol'. Any more ideas or shall we re-open my bug? Please ask the Kubuntu people. It could be that the 4.11.2 packages don't interact well with the default KDE packages of the (rather outdated) Kubuntu 12.04. Dolphin provides everything that is needed for searching when built and installed correctly, so I do not see why we should reopen the bug unless you have evidence that there really is something wrong in Dolphin's source code. > > >>You can add the "Path" as additional information in any view mode.

I have informed the maintainer of the kubuntu PPA of my issue and I can now see the path of Dolphin's search results. I never expected path to be under the 'other' sub-menu. It should really be took out of there and placed alongside size and date because its just as important - certainly moreso than Type, which it could displace if space was a real issue.
