ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-03-19 11:25:33 UTC
Does the same thing happen if you use the KRunner search that's available via alt+space?
Comment 2 jan.janacek97 2019-03-19 11:29:19 UTC
Yes it does
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2019-03-31 06:43:28 UTC
Changing status.
Comment 4 Hackswell 2021-01-06 05:04:20 UTC
This affects Ubuntu and Mint as well.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-03-19 23:03:39 UTC
I guess we'll have to figure out which runner is causing this.

If anyone can still reproduce it, please try disabling all runners in System Settings > Search > KRunner and then re-enable them one at a time and perform searches. Once Plasma hangs, the last-enabled runner will be the thing causing this. Can someone do that and report which runner is the culprit? Thanks!
Comment 6 Hackswell 2021-03-20 03:12:14 UTC
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5)

Linux Mint 20 64-bit, fresh install.  KDE packages listed at bottom.
I was having the krunner stall-upon-first-search as well.  Per your direction, I unselected ALL KRunner plugins.  I also have the "File Search" disabled.  I rebooted, and I continue to see this error.  (Yeah.. I know that makes it even more clear now!)

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2021-03-20 03:42:29 UTC
I hate to say it but I'm not sure your system is well-configured enough to rule out misconfiguration. I know that KDE Plasma isn't officially supported on Mint anymore, and those packages appear to be quite old. I'm also not sure you've got everything you need installed.

Ideally I would like a reply from Jan Janacek too.
