Whenever I search for something in KDE's Kickoff Application launcher, it also search in my browser history (both Firefox and Chromium).



I already disabled Nepomuk and selected "do not remember" under System Settings - Activities - Privacy. But it still shows my browser history.



How can i disable this?

Doesn't look like there's any way to do it in the UI.



But, you can edit the /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-runner-bookmarks.desktop file.



kdesudo kate /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-runner-bookmarks.desktop


Find this line:



X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=true


and change it to:



X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=false


You'll have to restart plasma for it to take effect:



kquitapp plasma-desktop
plasma-desktop


I'm not sure if this change will persist when KDE is updated, though. My recommendation would be to instead avoid all this trouble by just using the lancelot application launcher (package name is plasma-widget-lancelot). I prefer it to kickoff, and it has a UI that allows you to disable the bookmarks runner for the search bar.
