    Dolphin 'find' not working

    Have read many items on this but need help.
    I have just re-installed Kubuntu 14.04 and find that Dolphin search does not work.
    It seems that Nepomuk is not running.
    All I have is Nepomul Cleaner which doesn't offer any options
    Any advice?

    A new service called Baloo has replaced Nepomuk for indexing and searching files and emails. Check that the Baloo service is running on your machine. Open System Settings -> Desktop Search. Is Enable Desktop Search checked?

        Look at System Settings > Desktop Search Advanced
        Windows no longer obstructs my view.
        Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

          I ran updates and now I have an 'Enable Desktop Search" check box which was set to 'yes' as default. Search is still
          not working.
          I do not have Desktop Search Advanced.
          BTW this is a re-install of Kubuntu 14.04, I did not have this problem with the previous installation

            Verify that you have baloo-kcmadv installed.

              What's the output of balooctl status?

                For other reasons, I decided to re-install Kubuntu 14.04 taking care to see if search on Dolphin was working.
                As a result I'm pretty sure that on my previous install I lost the use of baloo because I transferred a lot of data from backup by restoring a number of folders simultaneously.
                By resoring backup folders one-at-a-time search function works OK.
                Does this make sense?
                Anyway, running 'balooctl status' produces :-
                Baloo File Indexer is running
                Indexed 7033 / 7033 files
                Failed to index 0 files
                Which is no surprise!
                Thanks again for your help.
