Bug ID: 443675
Summary: Searching with the KNS backend displays "Still
looking..." forever
Product: Discover
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: KNewStuff Backend
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Git master everything.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. plasma-discover --backends kns-backend
2. Search for random text like djflkjsdlkvjglkjrtoijvr
OBSERVED RESULT
Discover says, "Still looking" forever. Well, maybe not literally forever, but
longer than about 2 minutes, after which point I give up.
EXPECTED RESULT
The search eventually times out after a few seconds at most, and displays
"Nothing found"
This is a problem because it causes all Searches in Discover to exhibit the
above behavior even if other backends have finished searching, because it waits
until *all backends have finished, and this one never does. So the user never
sees the "Nothing found" message.
