 |
|
Hi,
Where I could find "file search" in Plasma 5, it used to be kfind, but I have no idea what is called now.

kfind is still around, if you so desire:
| Code: | $ emerge -vp kfind
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild N ] kde-apps/libkonq-15.08.3:4/15.08::gentoo USE="(-aqua) -debug -minimal {-test}" 2.004 KiB

Is it this default software for Plasma 5 or is there another tool? |

There is no default software for Plasma-5 except maybe baloo and using it e.g. via krunner.
kfind is part of KDE Applications. |

I was thinking why such important function is not a part of full Plasma 5 package, like it used to be in last 10 years for ordinary KDE.
p.s.
I have a baloo, from the KDE start menu I have only access to [configure search] and [configure file search], but missing ordinary [search] function.

Everyone has important functions, in the past Plasma was part of a big release bundle that happened to also contain kfind.
Plasma-5 is just a desktop, you install applications to do work on it. Dolphin isn't part of Plasma-5 as well, but as soon as it is present it will make use of baloo. |

I mean, I tough kde-plasma/plasma-meta give me all basic & needed packages in compare to eg. kde-plasma/plasma-desktop. I have a baloo, everything is indexed, but I was missing a tool to find files like in old kde-meta sets.
| Quote: | The kde-plasma/plasma-meta package provides the full Plasma 5 suite:
root #emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-meta
Alternatively, kde-plasma/plasma-desktop provides the basic desktop, leaving you free to install only the extra packages you require:
root #emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-desktop |
| Code: | * kde-plasma/plasma-meta
Latest version available: 5.6.4
Latest version installed: 5.6.4

The Plasma-5 suite does not contain applications. KDE Applications suite contains applications. 
It was in the news item. [2] https://dot.kde.org/2013/09/04/kde-release-structure-evolves
So, when you previously installed kde-meta - now you install plasma-meta and (as an ~arch user) kde-apps-meta. |

Yes. But I have plenty of other applications in my menu after installing kde-plasma/plasma-meta: games, graphic, multimedia, office, settings, system, with plenty of software - just this one was missing  |

These do not come from plasma-meta. Probably you have kdebase-meta or kde-meta still installed. |
