Bug ID: 392663
Summary: Default search doesn't show results for files that are
clearly there
Product: dolphin
Version: 17.12.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: polarathene-sig...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
This seems to be more of a Baloo issue rather than Dolphin I think. At least I
think Dolphin defaults to Baloo on a default install.
In the Downloads folder for example, where I can have files reside for months,
I had many results missing files that should have shown up. KFind could find
them. There is a way to go into the files properties dialog, permissions tab,
advanced permissions, ok, ok to exit the properties dialog. The file will now
get metadata updated, although nothing was done, this set of steps seems to
trigger Baloo to index the file. The file will now show up in search results
via Dolphin or KRunner.
Not sure how to reproduce, if it's due to Baloo no longer actively indexing
properly or ignoring files randomly, could be a bug in Baloo or something wrong
with the system as the install had been running since Aug 2016. Reporting in
case anyone else is affected, and that it was requested to make this a separate
issue from a similar one I had with hidden files.
