Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

I tried dolphin search and I got a nepomuksearch error. Then I realised, I have to enable "Desktop Search" in order to get the dolphin search working. But the error message doesn't give any help.

This is not end user friendly. Ideally, user should be prompted to enable "Desktop Search" if that is not enable when he tried search in dolphin. At a minimum, there should be a message which will guide the user to enable "Desktop Search".

I agree with you.
I had the same bug, so I ask you: How can I enable Desktop Search?

Well , for me it took a long time to find it: 1st - uncheck Nepomuk bos and Apply , 2 - check both boxes and apply again, it shouls start working and indexing if everything else is ok

hope it helps, Kubuntu search from dolphin still not working (it may be a debian packages bug)
