That's OK, I can see what you are doing. The Fedora defaults are similar, ~/Document, ~/Music, ~/Pictures and ~/Videos. > I just double-checked, and on my system with those settings, I can very much > search in Dolphin using Baloo by selecting “Everywhere” or when I’m in one > of the indexed folders. Searching through KRunner works fine too. For me, that doesn't work. Yes, you can open the search dialog and type in a search term and you will get results. You notice that it can take a little time though. If you look at the "Filter" dropdown menu to the right of the search box you see options to "Search in:" File names or File names and contents and "Search using:" Simple search or File indexing. (This "Filter" dropdown is relatively new and part of a rewrite of Dolphin's search user interface) If you are in a folder you have not indeed, the "File indexing" option is greyed out, Dolphin quietly switches to its "there and then" search and reads through the disc looking for matches. So. if you've indexed, as in Fedora, the four XDG folders and search from your home folder in Dolphin, you don't have the option of querying the Baloo index. You can check by clicking on the "Filter" button after you've changed folders just to double check how you are searching, it's not easy to see otherwise. You may see side effects of this if you have indexed documents and are searching for content. Baloo will have indexed the plain text of the doc and you can find matches for that, if you are doing a simple search you may not get hits for content (that's a "it depends" sort of question) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
