Is this even possible? In Krunner you can edit what is included in search results, but in Kickoff search it just seems to mash everything together and show you the result...

if you use Lancelot instead it is possible

Lancelot Launcher Settings -> menu -> search

I tried editing the whitelist in ~/.kde4/share/config/kickoffrc under the following

Code: Select all

[KRunner][PlasmaRunnerManager]
pluginWhiteList=places,shell,services,bookmarks,recentdocuments,locations


removing the entries bookmarks, recentdocuments, and relogin. But nothing changes; KDE just refreshes the whitelist again.

I had to resort to renaming this file

Code: Select all

/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-runner-bookmarks.desktop

so that it doesn't get a chance to be loaded. It should work until the next time I update my KDE4 package, upon which I will have to rename it again.

Well, kickoff doesn't even read this setting.

Try this:
- copy the file /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-runner-bookmarks.desktop to ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ (or ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ depending on your distro)
- then search for the line "X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=true" and change this in

Code: Select all

X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=false

- call "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" (I'm not sure if this is needed, but it can't harm...)

After a logout/login (or reboot) the bookmark searching should be disabled in Kickoff.
And this will even survive system upgrades...

For KDE 5:

Copy /usr/share/kservices5/plasma-runner-bookmarks.desktop
→ ~/.local/share/kservices5/plasma-runner-bookmarks.desktop

Replace a line

Code: Select all

X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=false

Relogin.

This worked for me. Thanks.
