unfortunately I have no idea what the IndexCompatLevel stands for and 
comments on KDE forums talks about "heavy rewriting" so don't touch. I 
did and everything went berserk...

but you have the other 2 parameters mentioned? Believe me it made a huge

for me.. and yes Groups are in autocompletion for me now
