What has always worked in Ubuntu or Linux Mint, namely adding quick search to the Synaptic package manager retrospectively, has unfortunately not worked so far in Feren OS, which has a KDE Plasma environment.
This is the simple solution we have used up to now:
apt-get install apt-xapian-index
and afterwards
update-apt-xapian-index -vf
I tried both, but the quick search is still not working.
Is there anything else or additional required in KDE?
