Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-08-29 11:16:06 UTC 
Version:           3.4.2 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.8-default

Hi!
the search dialog searches for a "match" of the search string.

many users (especially former windows users) will IMHO expect a substring search by default.

Many do not know anything about suffixes.

Sugestion: 

add a checkbox "substring search" and change the behaviour to substring search by default.

please keep in mind that konquerors regexp search capabilities are way beyond normal users abilities.
