I think the focus in Bug 474973 was on the "Downloads", or "Scaricati", folder.
I missed a trick not asking if the same issue was seen elsewhere :-/

Interesting.

There are crashes with baloo_file_extractor, it has to deal with any and all
sorts of file. Once indexed though things are more stable, don't get reports
from baloosearch crashing (although I know Dolphin sometimes reports the search
or tags protocol has crashed). If the command line baloosearch crashes, then
most likely the index has been corrupted (*)

I've tried all sorts of variations and not been able to find a way of
duplicating the issue. Almost...

There is the issue when you set up a symlink to a folder, say on your desktop,
pointing to your Downloads folder. When you follow that link in Dolphin and
search "from there" you are looking for files in "$HOME/Desktop/Downloads" and
won't find any. I include this mention for completeness, you've said it's not
an issue for you.

Second, wild, possibility is you've somehow created a folder with the name
"UTF-8" encoded. I don't know what might happen in this case. You say your
Games folder? This is not a folder under Wine with Windows games?

The same for me....

*) There is a index "consistancy check" script, baloo-checkdb.py, but this is
only practicable for "smaller" indexes...
