kio-locate (locate: protocol)

Does anybody know how to use the locate: protocol in konqueror to actually
find anything remotely complex?

>From a terminal, "locate plone.app.form" gives me 177 matches, but from
konqueror, none of these return anything, though "help:kio-locate" says
they should:
 locate:plone.app.form
 locate:"plone.app.form"
 locate:plone?app?form
 locate:plone+app+form

I find locate: really useful for simple things but it's annoying that it
doesn't even work for a simple "."
