Check maybe that tags are actually being applied, try:

  getfattr -d whatever-filename

This will show the tags in the metainfo... (file attributes...)

If you see tags there, you can query baloo directly. Assume you've tagged the
file with "mytag", then

  baloosearch tags:mytag

should list it. If it doesn't then you are troubleshooting baloo. Things to try
here are to run:

  balooctl status

to see if baloo thinks it is running and then run

  balooctl monitor

in a separate window. This should show you files "as baloo indexes them". If
you create/edit a file you should see it pop up on the monitor output. Try also
creating/editing a file in your 'Documents' folder, some distributions set up
baloo to index your whole home directory, others just a subset of "standard"
folders. After that, it's worth trying

  balooctl check

to prod baloo to look for any changes. It does sometimes get stuck and a
reminder will get it going again.

As a parallel option, assuming you have disc space, set up a virtual machine
and install a newer release. It may be you are dealing with a "way old"
problem.
