On Mandriva 2006 I also had problems with Kat and removed it. In my case I found that System > File Tools > Find Files/Folders pointed to Kfind. I put a link to it on my quick launch bar (Windows term, I can't remember what KDE calls, maybe just task bar, left side?) and it works fine, although it's neither fast nor sophisticated. It appears to make a full search every time rather than indexing. But, hey, I'm retired, I've got the time. <g> It sounds like the command line "find" will be the way to go once I get around to learning it, though. Thanks for that tip to whoever posted it.
