Linux: Getting “Find” working in Dolphin on KDE (Linux Mint and Kubuntu)
Like Ryan (the author) I've been struggling with this for years. It seems Baloo was the culprit, but there's more to the story. The hints Ryan gave didn't seem to want to work on my Kubi 16.04 amd64, but did give a hint or two on where to look.
My investigation:
System Settings > Search has “File Search” which, when you look closely, has a list of places NOT to search. Un-checking this got some ‘Find’ in Dolphin!
Oops – works fine on a directory tree from / (root) of a drive, but when encountering links/symlinks nothing happens. Dolphin says it’s searching down the bottom of the window, but there is no disk activity or report. Shame! – pretty much all of my data files reside under symlinks
