No error? Just no output? > ~$ dpkg -l | grep baloo | cut -c1-72 Well no wonder desktop search doesn´t work on your system as packages that are required for it are missing. On my system: martin@merkaba:~> LANG=C balooctl status Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Idle Indexed 192927 / 192927 files Current size of index is 1.32 GiB martin@merkaba:~> dpkg -l | grep baloo | cut -c1-72 ii baloo-dev 4:4.14.2-2 ii baloo-kf5 5.23.0-1 ii libbaloocore4 4:4.14.2-2 ii libbaloofiles4 4:4.14.2-2 ii libbaloopim4 4:4.14.2-2 ii libbalooqueryparser4 4:4.14.2-2 ii libbalooxapian4 4:4.14.2-2 ii libkf5baloo5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5balooengine5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5baloowidgets-bin 16.04.0-1 ii libkf5baloowidgets5:amd64 16.04.0-1 I think I´d do apt install baloo-kf5 maybe you also need to install libkf5baloowidgets5 separately. > > I am on Debian Sid and desktop search and krunner work just fine. > > > > Another reason may be a corrupted desktop search database. > > How do I check this? It worked fine until the other day, and works fine > after downgrading. Well for me krunner crashed repeatedly as the database was broken with mdb.c in the backtrace. But on your system baloo does not seem to be installed, which is a user support issue, so please follow up on debian-kde mailinglist to keep this bug report to the real issue of the original reporter, that was with krunner. Its important to stay focussed on the original topic of a bug report and open new bug reports for other issues. The original bug sounds more general than just desktop search not working.
