Use Homerun instead of the default menu: http://software.opensuse.org/package/homerun http://userbase.kde.org/Homerun

On Debian (KDE 4.10) it does this by default. So, there must be a way to do it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what that configuration is. Maybe if you open it with your keyboard 'alt+f1'?

Open a console window and (at the $ prompt) type:

$ sudo zypper update findutils-locate (wait a couple of hours for the locatedb to build)

$ locate fullOrPartialFileName

(for case-insensitive search) $ locate -i fullOrPartialFileName

alt-f2 ?

You can either hit ALT-F2 or you can just press ALT, hit the first letter of what you are looking for, release ALT, then continue typing.

After hitting ALT-F2, you will see a little spanner on the left of the dialogue that opens. Click on that and you get additional options where to search for your term, including devices, bookmarks, applications, the calculator etc.
