First about the turned-on-by-default: Search is on by default in Windows, Mac OS X, Android, iOS and even GNOME.
That's a weak argument. It amounts to "everybody else is doing it so why shouldn't we?"

you should too".
Go, Lemmmings, Go!
Jos, you seem to have missed the point that people are saying. Its not about who else had it "on by default", Its about the face that previously KDE didn't. Its about consistency of behaviour/operation, which is one of the aspects of good design, a good user interface.
Oh, come on, that's like saying DOS 1.0 is the base, never use anything else.
The world is moving on, 80+ percent of users uses search. It is an expected feature on a modern system. Most of these users wouldn't know how to enable it and we can't exactly advertise every new feature we introduced since, what, KDE 0.1? So we enable it. You're smart enough to disable it, if you need to.
If it creates problems, we can fix that, of course. It shouldn't.
You guys have done something unexpected in the changes from "index only what I explicitly tell you" to "index all of home unless you tell me otherwise".
And lets face it, some of us want out project documentation indexed, and that is not necessarily under any one individuals /home since the project is part of a TEAM effort in a shared directory.
This is a feature we lost - being able to index stuff outside of the home folder of the user. Should come back in the next release. If you now want to say "so it isn't ready, you should not have released it", you didn't read my initial email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
