For searching I use the milou (https://cgit.kde.org/milou.git) thingy, and that one *has* been updated for KF5. It gives me an interface (under Plasma4) that is reminiscent of the Spotlight interface in OS X ... no idea how it has evolved under Plasma5 (or devolved: there's a reason I've been sticking to Plasma4).

I was just reading about Milou and I see that it was another project
that Vishesh Handa began: https://vhanda.in/blog/2014/03/introducing-milou/

And it seems that Milou was morphed into a 'Search' Plasmoid in Plasma
5. I'll check this out. See
