Description Nicolai Beuermann 2003-04-16 12:12:23 UTC
Version:           0.4 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.4-4GB

As mentioned above it would be nice to have any sort of search function in kmenuedit.

Comment 3 Marco Menardi 2007-11-04 14:57:05 UTC
Any news? (was reported in 2003...) I very often need this feature, but not only to find the item, but also the location in the menu tree.
Problem I usually face: I install a new application, but I've no idea where has been put in the menu tree. I can run the program directly entering the name, or in Kickoff of KDE4 I could search it and run, but in neither case I have the possibility of knowing the exact location of the item, so next time I can simply use K menu and run it.
The "find" function in kmenuedit should find the matching item and "expand" the menu tree showing the match, so I can see that the new program "foo" has been put under "K -> system -> special programs -> network -> admin utils" (just a fake sample to clarify the idea). Next time I can then navigate the K menu and find it easely.
Comment 4 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-02-10 13:30:19 UTC
It could be like live search edit box -- see opensuse modifications to KMenu. There is edit box, when you start typing it "disables" entries that do not match (however I would prefer to hide them).

Comment 9 Joon Ro 2011-04-25 05:18:57 UTC
This is still not implemented? Changing an icon of an application is a pain because I have no idea where it is.

I would love to see that feature too :-)

I am looking forward to get this feature, too. Please give it a chance. Thank you!

Comment 17 Jörg von Frantzius 2014-10-31 11:46:59 UTC
Every time I want to change some application menu entry I wonder: "why on earth is there no search function here?!"

Would be great to have that feature!
Comment 18 CaCO3 2016-02-23 20:48:07 UTC
13 years and still nobody to implement it?
Please, this is an important feature and can't be that hard to implement!
Comment 19 Rofiquzzaki 2016-03-08 04:06:40 UTC
I need this feature. Really.
It's really hard if we got so many apps installed and we have to find it.
Comment 20 bugs.kde 2016-04-01 14:15:17 UTC
Yes, there should really be a search !
This annoys me every time I edit the KMenu Items since KDE 3.

Git commit 3f6c86e1f26d32c6f0452676c10debff02bffbc4 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Aidan Sojourner.

Add search/filter bar

Summary:
This diff contains a much-requested feature: adding a search or filter bar to KMenuEdit's application tree view. The search bar automatically expands categories as you search, then un-expands when search is cleared.
FIXED-IN: 5.16.0

Before:
{F6610037}

After:
{F6612274}

Test Plan: KMenuEdit's codebase is a mess; I noticed that there was only one unit test run by ctest! I'd love to write more tests in the future, but for this feature we don't need much.
