Searchbar in Konqueror

by Nate Bargmann-4 :: Rate this Message:

After a brief search I found that I needed to install the konq-plugins
package for the searchbar extension which I did.  When I go to
Settings|Configure Extensions the Search Bar plugin is shown as
available and enabled.  When I go to Configure Toolbars, however,
Search Bar is not one of the available options either as a seperate
tool bar or as an option for an existing toolbar (I'd like to place it
to the right of the address bar as it used to be).

What am I missing?

I have played just a little with it and my conclusion is that the
relative positions of the search and address bar are fixed: they look
like a single block. Maybe there is the chance to configure it by "hand"
editing a file, but I'm just wondering.

On an off-chance I removed the Location bar from the address bar, but the
search bar didn't show.  Sadly, the search bar is enabled in Konqueror
in Kubuntu out of the box.  Somehow this should be possible on Debian
as well.

Works fine for me here. The search bar is part of the location bar, so
make sure you have that (don't remove it). In all computers I have
tried, just installing konq-plugins makes this bar show without having
to do something else. I can't think of what could be wrong...

Location Bar is there (how elese could I browse the web besides
bookmarks?).  This is a system that was migrated using Kaboom and was
upgraded last week.  I wonder if there could be a bug due to the
migrated config files?

 I'm guessing you've already tried to disable it, save, quit,
 come back, and re-enable it?

 The function works fine here - FWIW - I've just enabled it again,
 immediately pops up on an Apply - and then disabled it.

 It's actually one of the first things I get rid of in any browser,
 but particularly konqueror where you have the far more powerful
 gg: shortcut.  Search bars just take up space that I can't spare,
 and limit me to one engine (compare my frequent usage of gg:,
 ud:, wp:, and so on).

 I'd suggest relocating your konquerorrc - while you're not logged
 into KDE of course - and seeing if the default instance you get on
 the next login plays nicer.

 Jedd.

I had not but on your suggestion I gave that a try and it still didn't
appear.

I'm afraid that as I'd start using those I'd find that they won't work
in Iceweasel/Firefox or IE7 at work. Sigh...

Just tried that.  No change.

Apparently, I'm not the only soul seeing this as:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550330

describes the same behavior I'm seeing.  So far no answer on a fix.

Hello

I'm trying to reproduce the bug, but it works here with konqueror 4.3.2 and
konq-plugins 4.3.0. Can you please provide the output of "dpkg -l | grep konq"


Regards
