Hey guys. I don't understand why "File Search" (formerly Desktop Search) should go under Applications.
Current application which can be used to search for files - Dolphin. Current workspace stuff which can be used to search - KRunner, Milou, Kickoff and Kicker. It seems rather odd for it to be under applications. Could someone please elaborate on the rationale behind it? I've tried reading the forums, but I haven't really found much.
