Sorry, I didn't mean to be saucy about it. I certainly appreciate the amount of
effort that's gone into improving Baloo and understand that it's not easy work.
"Millions" was obviously an exaggeration.

It's just that Baloo is the one component of KDE in which I encounter
show-stopping bugs, over and over again. Other components are at least working
well enough that I can "dogfood" and improve them. Baloo I'm forced to keep
disabled; once a year or so I give it a try to see if things are better.
Judging by user reports on places like the KDE subreddit, I don't think my
experience is too far from the norm:
https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/search?q=baloo&restrict_sr=on You'll find reports
here that are hair-raising to say the least.

I do think file name search (Baloo with content indexing disabled) has gotten
better; I managed to have it enabled the last few months with not too much
trouble... before the combination of Bug 460509 and Bug 437754 forced me to
disable it again.
