Bug ID: 425957
Summary: Search by filename returns no results inside symlinked
directory from one partition to another
Product: dolphin
Version: 20.08.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nicholas.churchill...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Searching by filename returns no results when initiated inside a symlinked
directory but works properly when navigated to the original directory.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Mount a partition to "/media" and navigate inside it
2. Create a folder like "/media/testing"
3. Navigate inside "/media/testing"
4. Create a file named "test-document.txt"
5. Navigate back to root partition "/home/$user"
6. Create a symlink to the testing folder "ln -s /media/testing testing-sym"
7. Navigate inside the "/home/$user/testing-sym" folder in Dolphin
8. Search by filename for "test-document", no results will appear
9. Navigate to "/media/testing" in Dolphin
10. Search for "test-document" and result will appear
OBSERVED RESULT
Search function will return no results when navigated inside the symlinked
folder "/home/$user/testing-sym" but will return results when navigated
directly to the linked folder "/media/testing"
EXPECTED RESULT
Search should return the test document in search results when Dolphin is
navigated inside "/home/$user/testing-sym"
