I tracked the problem down to a single line ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc: 'CurrentEngine=locate' in the [SearchBar] section. When running from the command line, Konqueror would print 'findServiceByDesktopPath: searchproviders/locate.desktop not found' to STDERR. I removed the file and let Konqueror rebuild it, and search bar has appeared in the toolbar again.
Sounds like a bug with handling 3.5 configuration files in post-4 KDE. -- Konqueror is missing the search bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
