--- Comment #6 from Mina <842m...@gmail.com> --- > is Baloo running or not? Yes it should be running. I have this: $ pgrep baloo 1427814 1430114 > when you do a Ctrl-F you'll see... I see something like this https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=137169 which has "any type" & "any date" & "any rating". Therefore baloo should be running. > Try creating a test file in your Documents folder... Okay, but I used "~/Documents/TestBaloo" instead, because my Documents folder is quite messy. $ echo "Hello Penguin" > test-file.txt And now if I go to that folder and Ctrl + F and search "test" or "Penguin" I get no results. $ balooctl status It stays blank and I have to hit Ctrl + C to exit. $ balooshow -x test-file.txt test-file.txt: No index information found ...so there's no index. Okay. mono@gask:~/Documents/TestBaloo$ baloosearch test /home/mono/Sachen/Documents Library/Thesis/template/lstpatch.sty It returns things from another directory. This is not a full list. And test-file.txt is not in the list. $ baloosearch Penguin Elapsed: 15.2315 msecs Returns nothing. Now for balooctl monitor in one window and balooctl purge in another window. The first one: $ balooctl monitor Press ctrl+c to stop monitoring File indexer is running Idle The second one: $ balooctl purge Stopping the File Indexer ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... - failed to stop! Not sure if you can see the output correctly, but it's just lots of dots and "failed to stop" in the end. > In System Settings "Search", you should see "Enable File Search" checked and > your home directory "indexed"... Yes it's checked, and home is indexed, and also "Also index file content" is checked. Hope any of this makes sense. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
