Yes, could be that baloo "got stuck". It relies on "iNotify" alerts to see when
files are created, deleted or changed - and there are times when baloo misses
something. 

A "balooctl check" brings things back up to date for new or changed files.
Purging the index and reindexing is the "start again from scratch" solution.

In general though baloo should be quick at noticing new files and changed file
details. It knows "content indexing" is harder work and queues up "full text"
indexing (something you can watch happening with a "balooctl monitor")

I'm not sure how Dolphin would know that baloo has not indexed particular
files.

It *does* check what folders baloo is indexing and whether baloo is enabled and
"falls back" to it's internal search if it thinks baloo hasn't indexed the
folder. That can be messy - Bug 424871, 4th comment shows how messy.
