Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.92) Installed from: SuSE RPMs How to reproduce: - Open KFind - Select a folder of another KIOslave, like ftp://server.example/folder/ - Enter a string in the textbox "containing text" (don't know the exact English translation) you're sure it does exist in at least one file at the selected folder - Search for it Result: - You get no search results for it Expected result: - You get a list of files the string is found in. Reasons to implement this: The KIOslave system makes working with remote files damn easy. Open a file directly on the server is a cute feeling. This feeling is broken when you do not remember where you have stored some text. Even surrounded with all these powerful KIOslaves you feel helpless. Problems with implementing this: - Implementing this could cause a lot of traffic on the network (this only affects some IOSlaves). Perhaps there should be a warning? - Full-text search on other IOslaves, especially network IOslaves, is very time-consuming as every file has to be downloaded over the network before searching in it. Alternatives: - Create a warning if you enter text in the textbox with a different IOslave selected.

Still valid for KDE 3.5.1. Extremely annoying as you cannot even search in system:/home/
