Search doesn't work

[cherryfinals]

Search in Dolphin never finds anything.
After a clean (from CD) install of the latest 10.4 Kubuntu, and waiting DAYS for strigi/nepomuk to index my system, I get nothing in any search. 

I've tried the Kubuntu forums and there seem to be a lot of complaints about strigi/nepomuk and I've yet to see where it provides anything that wasn't available before they installed it. 
Any idea on how I can totally remove strig and nepomuk and install whatever indexing and search routines were used in KDE3x?
It pains me to say it, but the last stable and functioning version of Kubuntu I used was 8.04. 9.04 was a total waste of a CD and 9.10 was only marginally better. I had held out great hopes for 10.4 since it is an LTS release.
