The search in Kickoff is just the normal search using Baloo, and Baloo by default only searches for your user files. It doesn't include system files. If you'd like system files included, you can tell it to also index /usr and other similar locations in System Settings > Search.

Note that this is highly likely to worsen search results for actual user files and may also cause the indexer to use more system resources.
