I think filetype choices etc. show only for the folder that you have indexed.

For example, I have set indexing off for home folder, but have enabled it for Documents folder.

In Documents folder I can see the filtering widget.

Is this the same thing you meant?

(In reply to Akseli Lahtinen from comment #2)

Sorry, didn't know the folder needed to be indexed for search to work.

Thought it worked like KFind.

Thanks for resolving the issue.
