Version: 3.3 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-52-default kioslaves all expect different formats, for example file:/path audiocd:/ expect one slash and fail with 2 slashes (actually file:// tries to search on smb?!) and http://server.org/path fish://user@server/path expect 2 slashes and fail with one, while gg:search term works without a slash at all. Even as an experienced user it is not intuitive to remember each format. Currently if you type in just "http:" or "fish:" or any other, you get an error, it would be just great if you could get a tiny *example* of the format so you know where to put how many slashes/dots/semicolons
gg:, etc, aren't kioslaves. They aren't even URLs. For KDE 4, they'll lose the : to lessen the confusion. One slash is now deprecated: three should be used. It means local host. Two slashes are always followed by a hostname. Three slashes means empty hostname. That means localhost.
Yeah, but is it explained somewhere?

Actually, this is an upstream bug. In KDE documentation team, we are trying to be consistent and explain every KIO syntax. If somebody find the things that should be improved then please edit the docbooks directly on invent.kde.org and create merge requests. This is deadly easy.
This is not really a bug. Poorly informed user.
Is there anything that describes "tags:"? There seems to be complexities, cf: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432004#c1

You can create an MR with your changes (the "Edit" button) against this file: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/baloo/-/blob/master/docs/user/searching.md Personally, I do not know how the users can find this file but it might happen they can. The KDE documentation team has no responsibility for the developers who decided to write their user docs in Markdown.
