Why does it miss? It's a baloo bug or inotify problem?

Maybe when iNotify notifies about a file created (or modified), baloo should
mark parent folder as un-indexed?

But in real situation it is not. For example, try to unpack some archive and
then search in unpacked folder. Baloo won't find anything and i think in this
case dolphin should just use a general search in this folder (while adding it
to index queue), but it doesn't, and it ends up in useless search feature
