This page documents how the features provided by the 'nepomuksearch' kioslave.
Introduction
Nepomuk allows the creation of custom search folders via the 'nepomuksearch' kioslave. This kioslave can understand a number of different queries based on the custom Nepomuk query language.
The syntax for using the kioslave is as follows - nepomuksearch:/?query='Query' or nepomuksearch:/Query. Here "Query" is the special Nepomuk query.
