I'm not sure how to word this, as I am kind of, you know, computer illiterate. BUT a few months ago my dad updated my Kubuntu. Before this, Dolphin could search for anything in a file name, like if it were a folder called "ThisFolder" I could CTRL-f and search for "folder" and find "ThisFolder." But it won't do this anymore. I would have to search for "ThisFolder." Is there any way I can fix this?

Dolphin/Baloo/KDE version ?

This is probably a Baloo bug: Bug 333037 - Search for filenames requires first characters, cannot start in the middle - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333037

Oh...So it's a bug and can't be fixed at all, I can't install a patch or anything or a different program. Thanks.

WAIT!! I found a program called KFind, and you can use a wildcard, "*" before and/or after what you search for. YAY!!!
