Looking at the incremental stuff some more, there are no public methods that mention incremental; the only way is to set the KFind::FindIncremental flag; the only method I could find is in the private API (find_p.h) startNewIncrementalSearch(). So technically it's all hidden behind the d-pointer, there's nothing to deprecate about incremental search, except remove the flag/enum FindIncremental... (does that mean we can remove the incremental code now, or wait till the KF6 branching?). FWIW, I checked lxr again and KFind::FindIncremental exists only in kmplayer and khtml, and in both cases it's in commented out code.
