"Find" in Dolphin no longer works. [baloosearch?]

[SamuraiGhost]

Find no longer works in Dolphin for me. I see "baloosearch - / -- Dolphin" in the title bar while using it.

After an earlier update the Dolphin Find would turn up files and folders without the word I searched for in the results. Now with the current updates and a reboot, nothing shows up in searches. Even if I search for the exact file name of a file in the current directory. Anyone else experiencing this?

Version ? Beta 2 or beta 3 ?

Riddell vHanda: just been testing baloo and upgrades from 4.12, all works well except filename search in dolphin, do you know of any problems in that area? [12:22]
vHanda yes, you'll have to try again with beta 3 [12:23]
Riddell vHanda: ah, known problem? do you have a bug number? [12:24]

If this is with the latest version file a bug ...

Quick test - Is the search through the Krunner working ?

You can disable baloo in system settings>desktop search. Just add partitions/folders you don't want to be indexed by baloo and baloo will be disabled.

The version is whatever is the latest in Kubuntu 14.04. I just upgraded and rebooted now. The KDE packages are version 4:4.12.95-0ubuntu1. Search in Dolphin still does not work. Krunner does find application names as I type them.

The package "kde-baseapps" is not installed. I notice that it wants to install a package called "kfind" which I don't have installed. Is this required for searches in dolphin to work?

I don't want to disable baloo, I just want find to work. If baloo makes it work faster, that would be great.

[SamuraiGhost]

I installed kfind. It looks like it's just a stand alone file searching program. Finding files with that works. Though it still does not work in Dolphin.

Is the find function in Dolphin working for everyone else? I notice it does work, but only has some small amount of the files indexed.

Maybe it is this: Some more baloo control questions

Yes. Because the default location changed between betas.

It was until beta2, for beta3 it has been moved ~/.local/share/baloo/file/

No. You will need to tell it to reindex everything as well.

Search

A major new improvement is the introduction of KDE’s next generation Semantic Search. This makes search faster, saves memory, improves stability, and generates more reliable search results. And it could use a good testing...

...One significant regression is file-activity linking, which will not work until KDE Applications and Platform 4.14...

Thanks Rog132!

This worked for me
