I have tested with the latest nightly build on KFind (v27.07.70) and I cannot reproduce this issue.

Marked as resolved.

If it's still broken for you in the latest version of KFind could you please provide a detailed bug report (OS, KFind version etc) and possibly some screenshots?

IMPORTANT CAVEAT:

In its current implementation KFind will search for and return non-hidden files if they are inside a hidden directory. I don't know if this is a bug or if it's by design.
