Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux Currently you can run searches in dolphin, but it is much harder to save those searches for future use. Using right-click you can add it as a place panel, then drag that place panel to a real folder, but that is a pretty roundabout approach. I think when right-clicking on a running search there should be an option "save search" (or some similar name), which lets you save the search as a folder in a particular directory (or rather a .desktop file that dolphin opens as a folder). Naturally the search bar would be removed when viewing the folder (see Bug 269331 ). Reproducible: Always

Git commit 64cfc43b97e0216caf8b7b71dd5168eaedb3068c by Nathaniel Graham. Committed on 01/11/2017 at 15:00. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Make Saved Search feature discoverable Summary: Make Dolphin's Saved Search feature discoverable by adding a button inside the search field. The button only becomes enabled when there is a valid search term. When pushed, it saves the search to the Places panel, providing a visible-by-default way to do this to complement the existing implementation that is only visible in the context menu. Also harmonized the label text so that it's consistent no matter how you create a saved search (button or context menu) Test Plan: Tested in KDE Neon.
