But your report seems at variance with what I see, or the way I understand something. If I change the default "Home" under "Search for Files" to "Other," I just get a list of files in /home/btth (my userID's home folder)
That's where is *starts*, but if you click on "Filesystem" on the left-hand side (where you can define your own shortcuts if you want by clicking Add, by the way), you can direct the search to any point on your filesystem.

Try right-clicking on the file list. While you're at it, try typing the first few letters of the file or directory you're looking for...

less files like /etc or /usr. I don't even see a way to go up to /home and back down to /home/backups (which I created, and scp'd stuff into as btth) instead of staying in /home/btth.
That should be obvious given the hints I've given you so far :-)
Unlike the other choices there, "filesystem" does give me two columns of lists. Clicking on one in the right-hand column ungrays the Add button under the other column; clicking on one in that column does nothing I can see.
A single click to select & launch is a KDE-ism. Try double-clicking.
