Find in 3.3 always stops responding

After getting everything working the way I like I did a Find in KDE 3.3 and it locked up during search. I have to close it multiple times before it stops with an error. (Window with title "Find Files" is not responding. This window belongs to application kfind (PID=6700, hostname=localhost)

I can't perform any searching without this window stopping to respond.

Can anyone else successfully use KDE find? I have no idea how to even start troubleshooting this one.

Thanks.

I had similar problems and discovered a rather simple solution: the field for the folder inside which you're searching must start with "file:/". So, for example, to search within /home/myname, the field must read "file:/home/myname", or to search anywhere in the root directory, it must read "file:/". I'm not sure why, but if you use the browse button to browse to a directory, it doesn't insert the "file:" automatically; at least, not in KDE 3.2.

Have you reported this at bugs.kde.org? Your observation may very well help finding the error in the code...
