Version: 0.12.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: SuSE RPMs When typing "time" or "in" into the search box at the bottom of the chat history dialog, the list is not filtered, but all messages appear. The reason for this is obviously that the search is done in the whole XML log file, including the tags and attributes.
I've attached a patch to Bug 148659 that should fix this issue.
I can confirm that this still happens in kopete 0.50.80 from KDE 4.0.99 and applies to all the words that are included in the xml file including "time", "in", "from", "nick", "msg", "=", my account address, "<msg", "</msg>" and anything else xml-related that exists in every dialog.
If I input "time", "from" or "nick" in the search text field I have no problem. However, if I input "in" I get this: in-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Hey! How are you doing? And if I input "to", I get this: top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">hi which should not happen. Therefore, there is still a but in Kopete 0.80.2 (KDE SC 4.3.4).
Fixed at least in KDE SC 4.5
