Almost nobody here noticed this issue in the first place.
If you want confirmation of this, you will probably want to ask over at KDE.
I think i still have baloo turned off but Iāll check now. Nope itās on and I donāt have any issues although i donāt have a lot of files for it to index anyway so maybe thatās why i have no problems. 
Edit: I agree with @dalto that I donāt think it ever was an issue.
I had the issue that Baloo was all the time reindexing snapshots.
I remember you helped me a lot as usual to install Recoll to use it insted of Baloo.
I prefer to hear from users actually using it.
Yes. I think you will find many, many more KDE users at KDE than here.
Most are using it without issue. I think that is the point!
Edit: At least on EOS 
If you have only one single text file say xyz.txt with just one unique word inside say āabracadabraā then take a snapshot or more, then search for the word āabracadabraā you get only one result or several results?
Iām not even sure how you are doing this? I would be using kfind to search i suppose? I just find i donāt do a lot of things that linux users tend to do.
Oh. It is going off topic. But I am not sure kfind does indexed search!
I know only Baloo and tried Recoll previously but it needed a lot of work! I know there are some others that do indexing but didnāt try them.
I like Baloo because it integrates well with KDE. (EXT4 of course)
As i said i donāt know how you are doing it with baloo as i donāt tend to do this. You would have to explain or i would not know what you are doing exactly. Not intentionally trying to go off topic. Like i said i donāt do a lot of these things that some linux users tend to do. No offense. 
Absolutely no offense at all. I envy you.
It is me who read a lot, and do a lot of research.
Maybe if you try and create a file as I said āxyz.txtā and put a word in it āabracadabraā, save it then take a snapshot or more. Wait a minute till it indexes it then in Dolphin search by content for āabracadabraā and see if you get only one result or more.
Hello,
Only Unstable (Sid) is a rolling release.
How are you searching for it? Iām not familiar with what you are doing? Probably because i have never done it before. 
I envy you again!
It is a headache to keep reading and researching all the time! 
How do you search for a file from Dolphin?
Edit: Okay i think i see the icon at the top when opening Dophin to search. Is that what you use? 
Top right there is a search icon (magnifying glass), click it, you will get a search field. Notice below it from the left āFile nameā and āContentā.
If you click the content button the search will be done by the content of the files and return to you the files containing the word āabracadabraā
Yes @ricklinux the magnifying glass icon
Try it and let me know how it goes with you
Not sure how it finds it within a file? I tried both finding the file and the contents and i got nothing.
Like i sayā¦Iām not sure i know what you are doing. Maybe Iām not following.
Edit: Okay i finally got it to find it.

OK @ricklinux
You know what, this is a great feature.
Let me assume you are writing programs in whatever language. You have lots of scripts, each with lots of commands and remarks. and some scripts call other scripts, you can search for example for the word/command/remark āsortā and you will get all scripts containing this word.
I hope this makes your life easier.
N.B. Maybe you need to double check what files and file extensions Baloo Index or not index. You can add whatever text based to be indexed, or exclude whatever file extension not to be indexed.
I hope this helps.
P.S.
Please take a few snapshots, then do the search again and see if it will return only one result or more!
If you are on BTRFS, Snapper, and it works as it is supposed to I will do another fresh install with BTRFS and ā¦mmmā¦ Grub.
I have a lot of snapshots so Iām, not sure how this works. It takes quite a while searching.
As i said I install on btrfs, with btrfs-assistant, snapper-support and btrfsmaintenance. These are the only packages I install with grub.
It finds only one as there is only one file.
If it takes a while searching then it is not indexed.
What does the command balooctl6 status give you.
I get something like:
[limo@eos ~]$ balooctl6 status
Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
