Bug ID: 446182
Summary: Contents of baloosearch virtual folder are not exposed
properly to terminal programs
Product: kiofuse
Version: 5.0.1
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: a.saout...@gmail.com
Reporter: kishor...@gmail.com
CC: fab...@ritter-vogt.de, kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If Dolphin's embedded terminal is opened while performing a search, the
terminal opens in a virtual folder containing the search results. However, one
is not able to manipulate these search results on the command line as if they
are actual files.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Perform a search in Dolphin
2. Press F4 (embedded terminal) and run the following commands
3. file $A_FILE_IN_THE_RESULTS
4. cat $A_FILE_IN_THE_RESULTS
OBSERVED RESULTS
In step 3, it says the file is a symbolic link to
/run/user/$UID/kio-fuse-$RANDOM_IDENTIFIER/baloosearch/$ACTUAL_FS_LOCATION_OF_FILE
In step 4, cat complains that the file is a directory. Other command line tools
also seem to display similar behaviour (i.e. they do not treat the results as
actual files that can be manipulated in the usual way).
EXPECTED RESULTS
In step 3, the file should be a link to $ACTUAL_FS_LOCATION_OF_FILE. It seems
pwd is erroneously prepended to the correct path while creating the symlink.
In step 4, one should be able to access the returned search result as if it
were an actual file (or a symlink to an actual file).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not sure which application this is a bug in, but I am filing it here.
Use case: A user may want to use grep to further narrow down the search results
or find the relevant line in the files that are returned in the search results.
