Description mac12 2017-12-15 20:30:42 UTC

when "Enable file search" is checked, file search is not avaiable(gives no result instantly),at the contrary when is not checked file search work.
In summary this checkbox works at the contrary.

This is a minor issue but i think its very easy to fix.

Thanks :)

My guess is the following: what you disable by this checkbox is the indexer, and not file search itself. Files that are already indexed are still shown.

However, when you re-enable the checkbox, baloo wipes its index entirely and starts building it from scratch. And that leads to no results (immediately after enabling). 

However, after some time they should appear. Is that the case?

Can you answer Igor's question?

Some time have passed and i forgotten about this issue, i'm very sorry..
Regarding, Igor's question, i don't have issue anymore (reinstalled some weeks ago), now disabling that seems to do no effect (files are still shown), but that is compatible with Igor's description of the issue (assuming that index are not wiped this time).
