It should startup on boot, otherwise you can run the baloo_file process. Most of the PIM side is already integrated, but the patches still have to be pushed. (I'll push them into a clone) I've started working on porting Dolphin, but I need to talk with Frank.

There is a nice query API - take a look at baloo/src/core/query.h / term.h.
