Description Ken 2016-12-30 07:12:14 UTC

Clicking the search option "From Here" and selecting "Filename" is not searching recursively at all. After checking with the Kubuntu IRC, it seems that I am not the only one with this problem.

> System Information:
- OS Version: Kubuntu 16.10
- OS Type: 64-bit
- KDE Plasma Version: 5.8.4
- KDE Frameworks Version: 5.28.0
- QT Version: 5.6.1
- Kernel Version: 4.8.0-32-generic
- Dolphin Version: 4:16.04.3-0ubuntu1

> Other Notes:
1. The (baloo_file_extractor), (akonadi_baloo_indexer), and (baloo_file) are running properly as processes.

2. The settings -> search -> file search settings are all enabled.

> How To Replicate The Bug? 
Step 1: Create a new directory with some subdirectories inside and few empty files.

Step 2: Make sure all the files are indexed properly and "Baloo" indexer is running.

Step 3: Go to the parent directory and search for any file name that you know it exists in one of the inner directories.

Step 4: Make sure you select "Filename", "From Here", and "Any, Anytime, Any Rating" from the "Fewer Options" tab.

Step 5: On our side, the end result is always "0 files and 0 folders".

Works for me in Dolphin 16.12.3 in Kubuntu 17.04 and also in Dolphin 17.08 in KDE Neon. So at least this is not completely broken for everyone. If anyone is still experiencing the issue with these later versions of dolphins in more recent versions of their distros, please comment.

I hereby would like to confirm that the issue is still present.

OS: Fedora Linux 38 (Thirty Eight) x86_64 
Kernel: 6.2.7-100.fc36.x86_64
DE: Plasma 5.27.6

When searching for *.ext nothing shows up. 

But I know there are files down the line with the .ext extension.

How do we solve this once and for all?

my apologies, I forgot to mention the dolphin version which is 23.04.4

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-08-16 20:25:04 UTC

This is a fairly old bug report and the code has changed a lot since it was reported. There's a very good chance the issue you're experiencing is caused by something else, even if the outward symptoms look and feel the same. Can you please submit a new bug report? Thank you!
