SUMMARY
Dolphin Search Utility (Using Indexing) is broken.
Say I have two files in a folder called test_file_1.txt and test file 2.txt.

-When I search for chronologically ordered words (test file, file 1 or file 2) Files are shown
-When I search non chronologically (file test, 1 file etc) No results are shown.

Baloosearch6 filename from terminal works perfectly.

When I select contents from search UI, and do the same as above file results work as expected ie files are shown in all cases. But ofcourse content search isn't working.

Summary: File Search Broken, Content Search not working (Works as File Search instead)

I can no longer produce that bug, but I have a different bug now.
While searching for Indexed folders, If I want to search for a file "qiskit_test.py"  
I can only search for single words. either "qiskit"  or "test" or "py"  
I can't search for "qiskit test", "qiskit py" etc. (no files are shown)
A workaround I found is that if I instead search for file contents instead of file name, then searching 
displays the correct files ("qiskit test" shows "qiskit _test.py"
