Bug 363874

Application: baloo_file (5.22.0)

Qt Version: 5.5.1
Frameworks Version: 5.22.0
Operating System: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64
Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
I had entered search text to the plasma launcher. The same behaviour is encountered when using the application launcher (Alt+F2). 
- Unusual behavior I noticed:
After the plasma crash, the launchers are gone, to reappear again. Sometimes the launchers do not reappear. The opened windows remain fully functional in the meanwhile. 

-fix
Previously tried 
#balooctl status  // result is baloo not running
#balooctl enable //or
#balooctl start //  this would throw a lot of information about failure to index several files under my home folder. I tried to exclude /home/user from indexing but it did not prevent. 
I tried a method suggested by one user. 
#balooctl disable
#balooctl enable

this worked.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
