Default File Search in Dolphin not working

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

Hi,

Is there a solution to fix the search in dolphin? I tried like everything, but I can’t get it to work.
Currently I have some Filenames like glass.png and glass_s.png, but when I search in dolphin for glass in the folder where the Files are located nothing is found.

It seems a bit random, since yesterday it worked at least partially, but today nothing is found if searching within the folder. But when searching all Folders, it finds the files though.

Is baloo running properly?

balooctl status

Looks to be okay.

Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Total files indexed: 10.087
Files waiting for content indexing: 0
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 8,31 MiB

You might try rebuilding your index. Your system performance will suffer a bit while it rebuilds.

If you want to try that:

balooctl purge

Thank you. Rebuilding the Index worked and now after a reboot the search is working again.

Just to be sure, is the reboot needed?

Probably not but tech support recommends it. :rofl:
