Desription:

SUSE Linux 10 comes with a handy search field in the Kmenu. With this your guide you can get it to gentoo using kde 3.5.4.

Screenshot:

It searches inside kmenu and directs you to content as it's typed.

Note
**You need to setup portage overlay first. See here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds **

Getting Files:

Download kicker-3.5.4-r1.ebuild here **Note: This is the official ebuild from portage, just added one line: PATCHES="$FILESDIR/$KMNAME-$PV-$PN-kmenu-search-box-suse.patch"

Copy the file to /kde-base/kicker/ inside your overlay directory

For Example:
/usr/local/portage/kde-base/kicker

Download kdebase-3.5.4-kicker-kmenu-search-box-suse.patch here **Note: I don't know who made this patch but i don't think it's the official Suse patch.

Copy the file to /kde-base/kicker/files/ inside your overlay directory

For Example:
/usr/local/portage/kde-base/kicker/files


Making a Digest:

cd to /kde-base/kicker/ in your overlay dir and do

Code:
ebuild kicker-3.5.4-r1.ebuild digest


Emerging:

Code:
 emerge -av kicker


Restart kde and you should see the searchbar in K-Menu


Im kind of a gentoo newbie and english isn't my native language so feel free to correct my mistakes :)

And im not responsible if your computer blows up or stuff like that :)
