Description rbugman28@yahoo.com 2017-09-05 17:11:02 UTC
Search *.epub  = no items found
CLI: find -name *.epub | wc -l = 225
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2017-09-05 19:11:29 UTC
There isn't enough information in this bug report to be actionable. At the minimum, we need the following additional pieces of information:

- Dolphin version
- KDE Frameworks version
- Is Baloo active?
- If so, does `baloosearch *.epub | wc -l` show about 225 results?

If you can provide the information requested in comment #1, please add it.

You can get Dolphin's version number in one of two ways (depending on whether you have the main manu bar hidden or not)

1. Help menu > About Dolphin [it shows the version number]
2. Control button on the toolbar > Help > About Dolphin [it shows the version number]

You can find the KDE Frameworks version in the Info Center program.

That said, it's now clear that this isn't Dolphin's fault, it's Baloo's (reassigning there). Baloo is the search framework. I'm sorry to hear that it's not working for you. This is a pretty common problem, and we know it's got some bugs. What does `balooctl status` say?

In the meantime, as a workaround, try disabling it and re-enabling it: `balooctl disable && balooctl enable`

My problem was that Baloo did not find files more than about a year old.  Disabling and Enabling cured it.
