Search inside kmenu

Hello, I'm Suse user, and I have always seen a search input in the kmenu to search menu entries in the kmenu. Just typing "/WHATEVER".
But now I can't do it in Gentoo. How can I activate it? I don't see it in the menu options.

And by the way, How can I modify the kmenu for all the users at the same time

instead only for me)

Thank you very much.

If I'm not mistaken, it's an applet called Tasty Menu.

I think this might be what you're looking for: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=41866

I'm not completely sure, though.

You might also be interested in trying out Katapult, also a program launcher, but more to the style of Mac OS X's Quicksilver

I think I mean something different. the search is inside Kmenu.
Is not a kmenu replacement.
Thank you anyway.

I see. I think that feature/applet was only available for SUSE, and that Tasty Menu tries to sort of imitate it. I'm not really sure, though. But since I haven't seen that kind of feature in other KDE distros I've encountered, I think that would be the case.

I think so, too. But I guess that's already up to SUSE whether or not they'd like to "share" that patch to KDE. I'm not sure if they haven't already, though.

Think man, it is GPL, they have to share the "patch" no matter how easy is to write it yourself (if u are coding)..just search SuSE's codebase and you'll find it. I am almost sure.

I can't guarantee since I dont use SuSE but logic says it has to be out there somewhere...

I'm sorry if I was a bit unclear on what I was trying to say. Of course, it's open source so it's publicly available. What I really meant was that it wouldn't probably be included into KDE as anything "official". Probably a modified version or slightly similar feature, but probably not entirely the same as SUSE's.
