Description Dread Knight 2020-06-10 20:11:22 UTC

SUMMARY
Rated folders stop showing up in search results.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rate a folder in Dolphin
2. Perform a search

OBSERVED RESULT
For the last few months I've observed that more and more folders stopped showing up in my search result. As this was started to annoy me, I've did some investigation today and tried remaking the index and eventually compared folders that show in search vs ones that don't and figured out they tend to vanish from results after being rated.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be able to rate folders (stars) and still be able to see them in search results.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm using KDE Neon distro.

Which search method are use using ?
Is it with Ctrl + F ? Or with baloo/file indexing feature ?

Can you describe a step by step scenario to reproduce the issue ?

Well, I'm no longer using that hotkey for it, as I found it better for filter.
But I have baloo indexing, which I tried to remake but with no result again.
So I'm usually searching from the Dashboard applet, I've also tried KRunner and even from Dolphin and the rather folders are still missing from search results.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Dolphin 25.12.0.
