Currently there is a checkbox to extend the search to files (baloo) and bookmarks. Personally I don't want bookmarks, but I'd like to have files. Would be nice if we could check each, sort of - Extend search to [ ] files and folders [ ] bookmarks [ ] whatever the future holds instead. It seems to concatenate a string to config currently, so separate entries should not be too hard from a technical point of view, UX is a different thing.
Same wish but for Kickoff - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382760
Kicker and Kickoff use the same backend; marking this as a duplicate of Bug 382760. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 382760 ***
I don't agree with the duping. It's true they use the same backend and have equal abilities to use or not use runner plugins, but whether or not to do so is much more down to the respective UI. E.g. Kickoff uses a single linear list to show all results, Kicker uses a column for each runner. They scale differently.
OK, un-duping. Let's use this bug to track refining Kicker's UI to better support an arbitrary set of runners so it doesn't become comically wide, and we'll keep Bug 382760 to track enabling/exposing the feature for both of them. Does that sound okay?
We can, I'm not sure we've made those decisions yet though :)
