Hi guys , I noticed that typing over the desktop triggers a search bar (plasma search).
Then you can find files or run commands from this search result.
Is there any chance to disable this feature ?
I have been looking around config but could not succeed yet.
Regards,
Leandro.

Well, one option for you is to just kill "krunner" which is the actual name of the command which provides the "plasma search" bar feature by running "kquitapp krunner" or killing the krunner process in the task manager. Of course this also disables it entirely, including disabling the global shortcut for pulling it up (alt+space). Also, this only disables it for the current session; once you log out and back in it will be back
If you need to get it back you can just run the "krunner" command from the command-line or from the application launcher.

I added following lines to ./config/kdeglobals.
[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
logout=false
movable_toolbars=false
run_command=false
action/run_command=false
action/lock_screen=false
action/movable_toolbars=false
action/logout=false
action/kwin_rmb=false
action/options_configure_keybinding=false
action/fullscreen=false
plasma-desktop/add_activities=false
plasma/containment_actions=false
plasma/containment_context_menu=false
plasma/allow_configure_when_locked=false
plasma/plasma-desktop/unlockedDesktop=false

Some of those lines makes the trick , search function dissapeared (krunner) **** I wanted , no I will try to figure out witch was.
Thanks.

I believe the one you'd need to keep would be: action/run_command=false

Hello.
I tried the solution above and it doesn't work.
I'm very interested in finding a way to deactivate the automatic KRunner search function.
To be very clear, I would like to be able to type anything in the desktop and not having that search bar activated.
It's really, really annoying.
Thank you for your help.

I diabled krunner using
sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/krunner
Then just kill any running instances: ps aux | grep krunner
