It probably came across a little blunter than intended (I have a habit of that though, you're probably used to me by now :) What I would like to know is, how the distros that do have this working, get it that way. One of the other things I've looked at for alternatives is quite interesting: Daniel Naber (who also wrote the search routine on docs.kde.org) has a rather nifty little search engine (http://www.danielnaber.de/desktopdig/) that is python based, and we would have the advantage of him being an existing KDE developer to help with implementation :) Right now though, we can't rely on an up to date version of the py-qt or py-kde bindings being available across the board or along with a new release of KDE. We can be more sure about python itself being available, and desktop dig only needs the bindings for the GUI, so maybe there's a way to put another gui on it. There's several other interesting looking apps around, and it's a while (maybe a year or so) since I took a really hard look around at them. Maybe there's something else out there that isn't ht://dig and isn't insanely complex to get set up, that could be used.
