Ding-ding, that's it. `baloosearch --id term` shows different IDs for the same
path, e.g.
 % baloosearch --id FuelCellWorks
500d900000803 /media/Windows/Users/spage/Documents/ECO.txt
5be2000000803 /media/Windows/Users/spage/Documents/ECO.txt
8546e00000803 /media/Windows/Users/spage/Documents/ECO.txt
...

I filed bug 438527 , and may have spotted a logic error in `balooctl clear` 😻.
I filed enhancement bug 438528 to add a `balooctl remove [ID...]` subcommand.
