`filenamesearch` when option is disabled

I would like to propose an feature with a setting option (config) to enable/disable indexed search when the Baloo service is enabled (so tags, comments, rating and search in Krunner will be remain intact). If the Baloo service is disabled, then this configuration option will not be available.

This is necessary due to the fact that in some cases the indexed search does not work correctly, and this would be a workaround without disabling the entire Baloo service. 

I understand that it would be better for indexed search to work perfectly (but this is not a trivial question), however, I think that potentially problems may arise with indexed search from time to time (in view of the complexity of indexed search - that is, the bugs of Baloosearch itself, as well as incorrect results in view of what has not been updated index), and this option would give the user the opportunity to configure the search in Dolphin without disabling the entire indexing Baloo service.

We don't work around our own bugs; we fix them. :) 

Please submit bug reports about the things that don't work for you with Baloo.
