In the user account that has has the search bar, when
you
use
configure toolbars, does the "search" feature show up
in either the
left or right window? If it does what is it's name?
The search toolbar is not in the list.
If it does not show, you might have an
"orphan" issue where
the search
feature was discontinued in the upgrade version but the
upgrade
process left it in when upgrading KDE.
I just tested creating a clean profile. The search toolbar still is not in the list.
I'm guessing the searchbar is hard-coded into the Location bar.
I'm guessing the rsync option is hard-coded too.
In my KDE 3.5.10 setup I don't have the search toolbar showing. The searchbar plugin
is installed. After all these years I don't remember how I disabled the search bar. I
don't have the rsync plugin installed in 3.5.10.
On "clean" installs I have had toolbar
features like that
disappear on
later versions and I have had to edit the appropriate *ini
files to
put it back in. I have done this mostly with Kate since
Konqueror in
its default "installed" layout does what I want. With
an upgrade the
features were retained because KDE continued to use my
original *.ini
files from my home folder.
I'll have to tinker. I think the toolbar layout is defined in
$HOME//.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror.rc.
I have disabled (unchecked) the options in the Settings/Extensions menu. No effect.
I suspect a brute force method of removing those options is to remove the plugins. I am
not passing judgment on these features --- I see their usefulness. My concern is for those
people who don't want the features. They should be able to disable them using the
normal options. Right now I can't find the option to do that.
This is a usability issue, not a performance or stability issue.
Unless somebody has an answer then this is starting to look like a bug.
