Hello, just to be understand what is the reasons of this bug
Could you please answer these questions for me 
1- if the folder a hidden folder ? ( including  one of the parents )
2- is the one of its parent added as "Do not index" for baloo indexing under baloo setting in systemsettings
3- does your baloo somehow disabled or paused [ you can check under systemsettings ]
4- did you tried pausing baloo and purge its old data ( from konsole :  balooctl purge )  and resume it and let the indexing finishes then restart dolphin and give a second try ?

Thanks for the bug report. I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this yet. There have been many fixes and improvements to Dolphin since this was reported, and this issue may have been fixed.

Can you please re-test on your system with Dolphin 25.08.3 or later and let us know if you can still reproduce the problem? If you can, please set this report back to REPORTED. Thanks!
