Mine has not been working for me, it brings up erroneous results. Anyone else?

baloo...

(breathing deeply till calm returns... )

If you've been getting good results for file searches using krunner, salutations, I metaphorically tip my hat to you. baloo has always screwed up for me, sometimes very badly (for example, writing at 80 MB/s continuously, threatening the health of the SSD, thus trying to kill my PC).

It may be that if you reset baloo's index it will sort itself out. One way to do this is in a konsole:

balooctl disable
rm ~/.local/share/baloo/*
balooctl enable

When baloo is re-enabled, it will re-index your files, and depending on their nature, it might take just a few minutes. If you've got terabytes of internally indexable content, like word processing documents, spreadsheets, or text files, maybe it will take a while; most people who have terabytes of data have music and video, where only the metadata gets indexed.

Mine always worked in Mint 18.2, I am not sure what version of Plasma, most likely 4.0?

The disable, delete and enable fixed it.

Thank You
