Well, I'm trying to look for some files, sometimes I use the `find` command but then again I don't know if there is a better way to search (as in having a gui). I was reading a while ago about document indexers, could anyone fill me in a bit, is this what I'm looking for?
Also, does KDE have a menu editor? been looking at settings menu for a while, after my switch from gnome to kde the menu is pretty crowded and need to re-organize (and also need to add new icon)
Thanks in advance!

You need to have nepomuk/strigi enabled to use the Search field in Dolphin (System Settings -> Advanced -> Desktop Search).
Right click on the K menu icon and choose Menu Editor.

It says it failed to initalize the system, due to a "installation problem". I tried to re-install it but no luck =/ is there a way to manually turn the service (or something to find out whats wrong with it?)
Offline
I saw that error once or twice and it eventually worked anyway. Try relogging.

Now I got more problems
Using KDM, I tried to log out but it gave me a black screen with white letters going vertical over and over. *Using a laptop here, just for reference*
So whenever I shutdown or log out its the same, except shutting down really shuts down and logging out leaves me with the black screen
So I was forced to power off then relogged, sadly the service is still down.
By the way is there a way to stop Kontact and amarok and pidgin starting up at log? I don't recall adding them..

Logging out on my netbook currently puts me into virtual console - graphics side in Linux world is still in a bit of flux due to all those recent changes. You generally should be able to alt-ctrl-f1 to the first virtual console, login as root and run "init 3; init 5" to get X running again (if you're starting kdm through inittab).
You can try playing with strigiclient/strigicmd - maybe it'd point to something. You can use locate (after running updatedb) in the console to
quickly search for filenames.
Did you have those apps open when you were logging out? KDE by default starts whatever you had running last time.

I'll give that next time *just hoping I don't forget!*
I ran strigidaemon, it started collecting stuff but segfaulted later on

I didnt paste everything, seemed irrevelant

It's quite a pity, log out worked well for GDM, and KDM is giving me problems, maybe I should switch back and see

I have the same problem. I can star nepomuk without problems, but Strigi always gives me that message and it fails.
I saw that error once or twice and it eventually worked anyway. Try relogging.
I've try that, actually i have the problem since i've intalled KDE4.3 and it has never worked strigi.

just in case you have not yet found your solution, and for anyone whos got the same problems:
i think kdebase-kfind is what you're looking for (also from inside dolphin ctrl-f).
kde got a nice menu-editor, just right-klick onto the kickoff-button.
