Bug Description
Binary package hint: dolphin-kde4
System:
kubuntu 8.10 amd64, KDE 4.1.3
Dolphin version:
4:4.1.3-
Strigi is disabled, Nepomuk is enabled
I wanted to find all qtcurve configs in my home directory (and I know that there is plenty of them) but all that Dolphin show me is only one folder:
http://
When I've checked to search only files - there is no any result.
Krusader search was more successful:

Many users think KFind is broken because it fails to find files named
File1.txt
File2.txt
when they enter "File" as a search string. I think that KFind should interpret "Name" like "*Name*" by default, unless the user checks an option called "Exact Match" or something.
Ideally, KFind should also find more fuzzy matches, such that it will still find a file when the user does not spell the name correctly.
