What you report is not a crash, but rather an unhelpful error message.

/usr/share/icons/ is a root owned folder that should be the main cause of this error.

filesearch uses KCoreDirLister behind, this is most likely a bug there.
Comment 2 zborowska40 2021-08-21 11:10:56 UTC 
But why is it not possible for dolphin to search in a root owned directory? 
Rights for listing the files are apparently available

I didn't say it was not possible.
Just that this context may trigger bugs in our implementation for this uncommon and hence little-tested usecase.
