I had last tested Kaja a couple of months ago.
One problem with Kaja with Mate was that when I typed few starting 
characters of file or folder to search, it would take a lot of time to 
search the same.
Probably it not just searched in home folder but entire system so it 
took time.
Another problem was that doing multiple selects of files or folders was 
inaccessible, Orca won't tell what is being selected.
This worked in pcmanfm and nautilus for sure.
Has this all been fixed since?
Happy hacking.
