I'm not going to try to help you directly as I don't know, despite my kde
lists involvement as well as using kde on Gentoo myself, but if you don't
get an answer here, try the kde general or kde linux lists. If you wish,
you can use the list2news or list2web interface at gmane.org, where they
are the gmane.comp.kde.general and gmane.comp.kde.linux newsgroups. (I
follow all my lists, kde, gentoo, and pan, all three, as newsgroups on
gmane.)

If you do try the kde lists, pay special attention to posts by Kevin
Krammer, as he's a very helpful kde dev. =:^) I think all us list
regulars appreciate his help and insights into the kde developer side of
things (both code and social) that users just don't normally get a chance
to see or understand.

Thanks Duncan, I'll try those lists.

Don't you have a "Desktop search" in the advanced tab ? (And there you
can enable nepomuk and strigi)

Maybe the semantic-desktop USE flag ?

Thanks for your message Cedric,
I do not have "Desktop search" in the advanced tab and I do have the semantic-
desktop USE flag enabled.
I think I will need to reinstall all of kde 4.4.1 and start from scratch.
When I try and emerge -avt kde-meta, it only comes up with :-

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] kde-base/kde-meta-4.4.1 USE="nls semantic-desktop -
accessibility (-aqua) (-kdeprefix)" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

How do I get all of kde-meta to reinstall?

You might wish to try emerge's -N (--newuse) flag as well, along with -D
(--deep). I use these by default, so all updates remerge anything with
new USE flags, and update all the way down the dependency stack.

Note that this will give you more updates to do (so try -p or -a first),
thus it's an option, but it does seem to help keep the bugs away.

Also, either routinely, or every time you have a bug not resolved
elsewise, try running revdep-rebuild, again with the -a or -p first,
especially if you don't run it regularly. FWIW, I run it after every
update, so not so many rebuilds get a chance to build up.

Thanks for your reply Duncan,
After my problems earlier on when I changed gcc and had to re-emerge kdelibs, I
should have re-emerged strigi & nepomuk as well.
I now have the menu item "search" in the advanced settings page.
