So, I was looking for a Baloo GUI. Turns out that Dolphin, which I already use, is supposed to use Baloo for its search... But on my setup it doesn't.

Search configuration offers KFind in its "Main section" and a bunch of non-working options in "More tools"... But no mention of Baloo anywhere. Am I missing something ?

Currently, the ctrl-f file content search seems to use threads such as:

Code: Select all

filenamesearch.so [kdeinit5] filenamesearch local:/run/user/1000/klauncherAuvBdw.1.slave-socket local:/run/user/1000/dolphinPrBQLd.7.slave-socket
file.so [kdeinit5] file local:/run/user/1000/klauncherAuvBdw.1.slave-socket local:/run/user/1000/filenamesearch.soljLLKg.1.slave-socket

But none of those look like Dolphin is querying Baloo...

Or am mistaken in believing that Dolphin can use Baloo ?

AFAIK Dolphin uses Baloo only for content searching. The easiest way to search with Baloo is to use krunner.
