Description Michael Grosskopf 2015-08-21 06:41:38 UTC

Sorry, there is not more to  say about it. I can open the more options panel, but all is gray.
I have done some investigations before but cannot find a remedy.
The hints I found (rename configuration files, install Nepomuk, install Baloo etc) are all not solving the problem

Reproducible: Always

Confirmed: Same here on Kubuntu. I rebuilt the index a few times, but that does not fix the problem. I am wondering what triggers Dolphin to grey out search. Search through Krunner (Alt-F2) does work.

This is how it looks when baloo is disabled.

Nate,

Please excuse: I did not try to use the dolphin search options for a long time.
Today I typed balooctl status: 
running
After that I looked into dolphin and voila, it is working now.
Possibly there was an update by Suse in the meantime. Anyway this is no longer an issue although I cannot  tell how it has been solved.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards 
Michael Grosskopf

Glad to hear it. FWIW, KDE4 has been deprecated and unsupported for years. Plasma 5 really is much better!
