When you say "ignore" in step 4, you are indexing "a" and have added "a/c" to
baloo's list of "excluded" folders?

If I do the same, I see baloo indexing the contents of "a/b" (can confirm with
"balooshow" and a testfile in folder b)
but baloo does *not* follow symlinks when indexing so it does not "dig down"
into a/c (see the Summary Bug 447119).

Baloo keeps track of files 'via' their device/inode numbers and tries to keep a
one-to-one relationship between this internal ID and the filename. A search, by
default, gives results for the canonical filename.

In this situation, adding an exclusion for a/c is not going to mean anything to
baloo.

So, I also see your "Observed Result" but I'm not sure I would expect your
"Expected Result" (and I think it would lead to even more confusion and wierd
edge cases as per Bug 447119)
