Does Baloo have a proper inteface for searching?

By that I mean a screen with more advianced search options, like document type, date, language etc?

afaik there's only the "More Options" option

this thread will help understand what can be done with the baloosearch kioslave

Thanks. You didn't link to the thread about the baloosearch kioslave

I have also heard about Milou, What does it do?

discussion of baloosearch kioslave viewtopic.php?f=154&t=124822

defintition of Kio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIO

Milou in 4 is an alternative to Krunner (Alt+F2), in 5 Krunner and Milou were merged

Personally, I have not been taking care of Dolphin much these days. I've mostly been focusing on tooling around Baloo. Specially command line tools.

Have a look at this - https://github.com/KDE/baloo/blob/maste ... arching.md All these options will also work with the Baloo kioslave. Eg - `baloosearch://?query=Fire`

How can I tell whether the baloo kioslave is installed on my system?
eg "baloosearch://?query=kde" gives an "Invalid protoco"l error in Dolphin.

Better yet, is there a way to list all the installed kioslaves on my system?

A wish (implemented): [KIO] List of available KIO slaves - viewtopic.php?f=88&t=39566

A bug report: Bug 246715 - List of KIO protocols missing from KInfocenter - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246715


-> The KHelpcenter has a partial list - some kioslaves don't have required parts to show in the KDE Help Center.



A workaround is to search with the locate.

At here - with the Arch/KF5:

Code: Select all

locate .protocol

Output:

...
/usr/share/kservices5/ar.protocol
/usr/share/kservices5/baloosearch.protocol
/usr/share/kservices5/bluetooth.protocol
...

With the package management:

Code: Select all

pacman -Qo /usr/share/kservices5/baloosearch.protocol

Output:

/usr/share/kservices5/baloosearch.protocol is owned by baloo 5.15.0-1
